Pros

Some pros include meeting great coworkers, usually work with your schedule either full or part timers, working with animals (rare but happens) and discounts discounts discounts. The discounts are the only reason i am still working here.

Cons

Is there a limit of cons? Every store i know around the LA and other states face all the same issue, payroll. Hours being cut and some partners only work once or twice a week because hours are so bad. The people and area, while this not be the case for everyone, but we deal with your typical Karens, homeless, or regular thieves on a daily basis but it is a typical retail job. Petco's slogan? Animals come first. Biggest lie any company has ever said, the animals vendors always sending us dead or almost dead animals and expect us to bring them back to life. Highers up getting mad at every partner for the animals dying and "punish" by cutting the hours for the whole store. Forced to push Vital Care Premiers down the customers throat, lie by not mentioning that is it a yearly commitment or sign up customers on the register without their consent or with false information so the store does not get red flagged by higher ups. Dont work here.

Pros

At first I really enjoyed working here, I loved having hands on experience with the animals and learning more about them. I also loved hands on experience with customers and helping them with their needs.

Cons

After time the work environment become toxic, my managers became rude. And I realized both the manager and the assisted manager talked bad about everyone else. I was blamed multiple times for things that were not my fault, and left to clean up after everyone else’s messes. I was also blamed for a groomer cutting a dog simply because I was entered the grooming salon. I would not recommend working at this location, because you most likely will be talked bad about and get multiple complaints about things that are not your fault.
