Pros

More people who are leaving are explaining why. If this company really does want to get better, the info is there

Cons

Working here will make you feel bitter and used. What gets said, tweeted, posted etc is complete BS. There is no “Petco family”, we are not “in it together”, you don’t “work for me.” Instead senior leaders make decisions and do things to promote themselves at the expense of others. No one cares about you and don’t expect anyone to do the right thing here - for employees or for the company. It’s every man for himself, starting from the very top. Women constantly marginalized and put down, even by other women. D&I initiatives are meaningless blather.

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.
