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
- Sexism 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
