Pros

When I did make my bonuses they would nice. The animals are cute

Cons

I’ve been with Petco for over 7 years. When I first started I loved my job. They didn’t work you to death with never ending unrealistic tasks. Ever since the new CEO petco has changed dramatically and not for the good. I always try my best to be positive and make the best of it. It is never ending stress, never ending projects back to back that are always miscommunicated and never ending criticism for not selling memberships. Conferences calls almost daily, never having days off because we are not allowed to have enough staff on board in case someone calls in or a project comes up. Your a cars sales man with no pay, no days off and constant pressure. Not to mention the higher ups undermine you and pressure you into doing what the company wants.

Pros

At first I really enjoyed working here, I loved having hands on experience with the animals and learning more about them. I also loved hands on experience with customers and helping them with their needs.

Cons

After time the work environment become toxic, my managers became rude. And I realized both the manager and the assisted manager talked bad about everyone else. I was blamed multiple times for things that were not my fault, and left to clean up after everyone else’s messes. I was also blamed for a groomer cutting a dog simply because I was entered the grooming salon. I would not recommend working at this location, because you most likely will be talked bad about and get multiple complaints about things that are not your fault.
