Pros
Pets, fun products, cool coworkers, bonus payout, large cubicles, vendor dinners, dog park on premises
Cons
Leadership, career opportunities, systems, benefits, processes, facilities. Not just bad managers, but good old fashioned throw you under the bus when you aren't there to defend yourself, bad people. Career opportunities depend solely on whether the aforementioned group accepts you as one of their own. Systems are inaccurate and incredibly slow. We finally upgraded to Microsoft 2007. You get 4 (four) days of PTO your first year- this is the value Petco places on you. Healthcare is abysmal, HR is in India or Texas, IT is in India. Facility is disgusting, smells, 30 year old carpeting, roaches in the bathrooms- so embarassing to ever have a friend stop by the office. Make us wear business casual in a pigstye of an office with urine and dog poop on the floor. No appreciation for employees if you aren't in Merchandising. Also, they are moving to Texas. Management won't tell you what you need to do to get to the next level, they will just tell you that you aren't going there- so no actual career path or developing skills.
