      Pros

      The schedule is flexible if need be. If you actually work, you are more or less left alone, and the time goes by quickly.

      Cons

      the abhorrent waste of time in dealing with mountains of auto shipped back stock. Most of what is received is not what is needed. Plus, working with some fellow employees can be tedious when they do not pull their weight or are just slow on doing basic duties such as animal cleanliness. I also am not a fan of how the small animal department is set up, for larger animals like guinea pigs and rabbits, there is not enough space. Plus the amount of back stock for some animals is insane.

      Good environment - not so great compensation

      Pros

      The company does try to give you what you need to complete the necessary tasks of the job. You can bring your pets to work, and the environment is somewhat laid-back. Most of the management has an open door policy.

      Cons

      The analytics department morale is somewhat low due to the below average pay scale. The onboarding process is not thought out. Management tends to play favorites and will provide opportunity to those that play the corporate politics.

      PETCO used to be much better.

      Pros

      You do get animal care experience by working at PETCO. Also, my general manager is very good about scheduling my work schedule around my college courses.

      Cons

      Politics. I've also noticed that since PETCO has cut payroll and "right sized" the amount of animals in the store, the animals in the store no longer come first. Instead of taking care of all the animals once a week they now get taken care of once the enclosures look like crap or they smell really bad.
