Pros

Unfortunately cannot recommend in any way. Looking for employment elsewhere.

Cons

Ask around...Petco aka Letgo is widely known as a bad place to be. Zero loyalty to workers, rampant sexism, constant churn of people, firing then hiring then firing. Heartless treatment of people - even senior leaders - who get recruited, move their families, and then get fired for no reason other than politics or the company’s bad results. People are so paranoid about losing their jobs that the culture has really gone downhill - lying, disrespect, sabotage of colleagues. I wouldn’t wish this pace on my worst enemy.

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.
