Pros

co-workers getting to work with animals customers

Cons

Lack of respect from upper management Inability of HR department to act in timely manner Lack of payroll hours Favortism Retaliation- If they dont like an employee they cut their hours in order to force them to leave Stupid excuses for write ups or made up excuses like to push issues under the rug instead of dealing with them. The Speak Up Survey is a Joke. My store had a 29% approval rating of the GM No employee recongination- Gm thinks it a big Joke

Pros

I love everybody I work with. We all have a deep love of animals, even if they're different kinds of people than i'd normally hang out with. The customers are ( in general) more friendly than at other places I've worked. And there is always something to talk about at the register, depending on the stuff they're buying. Being around animals all day. Getting to feed treats to dogs.

Cons

We have so few people employed at our store, that it's really hard to get someone to take your shift on short notice, like if you're sick. Some of the regulations corperate puts on us seem like of out of touch, but that's going to happen any time you work for a place as huge as Petco.
