Pros

Petco is a good company to work for and they truly care about animals as well. San Diego is a great city to work in which is a plus.

Cons

Opportunity for advancement can be limited if you are not aggressive. Management can be slow to change strategies to be competitive.

Pros

I love everybody I work with. We all have a deep love of animals, even if they're different kinds of people than i'd normally hang out with. The customers are ( in general) more friendly than at other places I've worked. And there is always something to talk about at the register, depending on the stuff they're buying. Being around animals all day. Getting to feed treats to dogs.

Cons

We have so few people employed at our store, that it's really hard to get someone to take your shift on short notice, like if you're sick. Some of the regulations corperate puts on us seem like of out of touch, but that's going to happen any time you work for a place as huge as Petco.
