Pros

Able to get a few great clients and dogs who make all the difference, and can be regulars

Cons

Management wants you over worked and exhausted, roll of the dice on coworkers who are great versus coworkers who don’t know anything and don’t care about pet safety, dog owners who don’t want to help their pets, want cheap services and don’t care about their pets

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
