Pros

The pay is pretty good and at the right location you can get a lot of hours.

Cons

I have tried to get promoted to assistant or general manager and have been unable to for a couple years now. I am a very hard worker and believe that my age had some to do with my not being promoted any higher.

Pros

This was my first job after moving away from home-and I loved it. It remains to be one of the favorites of any place I've worked. The environment was professional and everyone seemed to really care about the animals. The hours were good and the pay was fair. Training is provided in several areas in within the store if you wish to become an animal specialist-I became the Certified Reptile Specialist within 6 months of working there. I had a lot of fun. I definitely recommend Petco as a great place to work if you love animals.

Cons

As with most if not all jobs-there are downsides. Wether it be problems among co-workers or problems with corporate. I got along with all of my co-workers so that was not a problem for me.

Pros

good schedule, 40 hour work week, decent starting wages for management,

Cons

raises are not given out fairly, opportunities for advancement are few and far between, especially when you get into the management levels of the company, there are very few positions for store managers to move into.
