Pros

50% commission Medical/Dental/Vision insurance PTO

Cons

Upper management and corporate does not care about you as an employee. Expectations are unrealistic, unsafe, and employees are completely unsupported. Ever since the company became publicly traded, it’s all about the shareholders not the customer or the people doing the day to day. Upper management wants to know why a highly profitable salon doesn’t have any pros - they raised the threshold to the point of being unattainable.

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 - Sexism 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
