Pros

As A new General Mananger, I am training with the Genral Manager that is leaving.This is a great opportunity to see how a succesful manager has ran her store. The computer training is extensive to thepoint of being too much. You have to complete all courses your employees have to complete as well as management courses.......in less than 2 weeks along with on the job training.

Cons

The training for General Manager is fairly new and has not gotten all the kinks worked out. Alot to learnin a short amont of time.

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
