Pros

There is great exposure on a corporate level. As a Marketing Data Analyst you work cross-functionally with many departments such as Marketing, Advertising, Visual, Accounting, and of course Merchandising.

Cons

There is no defined career development plan in place. Unless you know someone in another department, don't plan on receiving any communication regarding advancement in other areas. The systems are also a huge issue. It seems as if PETCO is stuck in the past with it's computer systems. All of the data can also be overwhelming. It seems as if there is often too much time spent on data versus actually analyzing trends and other issues affecting the business.

Pros

friendly store managers usually good discounts nostalgic

Cons

Forced to stay short staffed. Couldn't take proper breaks most days as a closing lead unless it was during the first few hours of shift. At the time the regional manager seemed more worried about the aesthetics of the back animal rooms floor that only employees saw when we had ac issues, issues getting access to an exotic vet, and only had enough hours to have two employees working at a time most shift on most days. I only had a couple interactions but that was one of them. Could not call off sick without leaving the store scrambling to find someone to stay open. Also sold improper habitats.
