Pros

At my location, everyone gets along without a doubt! Its a never ending learning job and I enjoy it here. I would have to say the people I work with are like family and we watch out for one another. The GM and team leads are very VERY nice and easy to talk to.

Cons

I think that the people who do work for Petco and know a lot about the animals are getting under paid. I personally think that if you want the hard working and the ones that really know what they are talking about should be getting paid a bit more. Really, they are considered valuable employees that you know YOU want to represent the company. Think about it.

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.
