Pros

Its a job. I'm lucky I work under good management and the salon I work in is one of the best design salon built. We also have a prebook system that some air head thought was a good idea but has proven to fail. I do like the people I work with, even though we have NO TOWELS for the clients dogs, we do have SMALL RAGS the size of a wash cloth to dry the clients dogs but a rag better than nothing. We are a new store which also makes it nice work in.

Cons

I'd like to know when Petco puts out coupons for dog food etc. is the coupon deducted from the cashier wages? If not. Then why is the coupons deducted from the groomers wages. The groomers aren't just grooming, there retreiving carts, doing carry outs, cleaning bathrooms, driving to the vets office across town.Groomers get the lowest pay. Coupons are deducted out of the groomers wages, The public is under the impression that Petco is giving them the discount unknowings to the public that their discount is being deducted from the groomer wages. A multi million dollar business is taking away what hard wages the groomers work for.

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.
