Pros

Ive been with Petco two years now. Started as associate thn to management and now a groomer. In 2 different stores and states may I add. Employees can sometimes be fed up with corporate, but those who take pride in there jobs go far with the company. I make good money in the salon because I want to, but if it's slow thank goodness for a company willing to pay me hourly if I don't make commission.

Cons

The people petco hires. Lazy flakey people who blame the company for there crummy work. Yes, I'll admit that if you have a crappy manager, that can make your job kind of lame, but you can always transfer, or just be thankful you have a job in this economy.

Pros

At first I really enjoyed working here, I loved having hands on experience with the animals and learning more about them. I also loved hands on experience with customers and helping them with their needs.

Cons

After time the work environment become toxic, my managers became rude. And I realized both the manager and the assisted manager talked bad about everyone else. I was blamed multiple times for things that were not my fault, and left to clean up after everyone else’s messes. I was also blamed for a groomer cutting a dog simply because I was entered the grooming salon. I would not recommend working at this location, because you most likely will be talked bad about and get multiple complaints about things that are not your fault.
