Pros

The animals are the only good thing about this place

Cons

Worked part time with full time hours because company didn't want to pay for benefits. Did over time but didn't receive overtime pay. Got laid off while I was in the hospital with my daughter who suffers from a disease. Ceo doesn't care about the life of its workers. Only about the money.

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 - Gender favoritism 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
