Pros

Decent pay. Yearly bonus. Can bring your pets to work. Friendly People. Cafeteria has good food. Open floor plan. Has a coffee shop in the building!! Lots of fish tanks. Track around the building to take walks on.

Cons

No tuition reimbursement. Software is old and needs to be updated. I don't feel they support us in getting further education. Some processes seem outdated and inefficient. Honestly, the company does a good job but I think they struggle to keep employees because they aren't staying competitive with the perks.

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
