Pros

Very flexible, competitive wages, transfer options, advancement opportunities, benefit package. If you are a hard working individual with ambition and initiative this could be a great carrer move.

Cons

Senior managements inability to understand field associates concerns. Very streamlined work, must be able to perform all job functions. If the senior team took a step back and listened to the stores there could be more success then what is currently being seen.

Pros

- Wonderful people under the Sr. Director level - Dogs in the office - Brand name carries weight on your resume

Cons

- Sr. Directors and above are largely nepotism hires rather than merit-based promotions - Leadership team is toxic and disrespectful, and that tone trickles down to other senior leaders - Gender favoritism shows up repeatedly, with women being asked to pick up the work of men without additional pay. Or men being promoted over women due to favoritism and not merit. - Nearly every employee I worked with was disengaged and functioning out of fear of layoffs rather than job satisfaction (layoffs happen multiple times a year) - The company's declining position also makes it harder to land your next role, since a recent Petco title now reads as coming from a struggling brand
