Fun working with animals, unfun dealing with unattainable expectations of comapny - Sales Associate Petco Employee Review

Good environment, good management and able to learn and improve

none so far that ive been working here

friendly store managers usually good discounts nostalgic

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.
