Pros

Some people really do care about pets.

Cons

My time here was truly a nightmare. Overworked, undervalued, set up for failure, with little capacity to succeed. This company is so bought into the fact that they are superior, it is “Petco Excellence” over people. That being said they attempt to gloss over it with the typical corporate facade. I left this company on my own accord after being appalled by the way I was treated. There is zero accountability for toxic, statements and treatment. It is truly shocking.

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.
