Petco reviews

My biggest issue is that DM's do not want to promote from within. They would rather roll the dice on someone they know nothing about than give an opportunity to someone who has been working for it for years and has earned at least to be given a chance. I've heard some of the VP's are wanting to change this but haven't seen it applied yet. This also leads to some store managers being hired that don't really care about animals and aren't very committed to Petco's "Animal's come first philosophy".

If a dog really needs to be stripped down, they wont let me do it for fear of the dog being injured, if a dog wont stand perfectly on my table, i am not supposed to groom the dog! Regardless of why, whether its a first groom, a puppy, a 3 legged dog, old dog, it doesnt matter! Nothing will they let me do to help an animal that is really in need of my skills! Cant do pregnant ones, no maternity cuts!? Too many policies and procedures that are based on lawsuits, not on what right for the animal! They want us pushing services and add-ons onto our clients even if we know they cant afford it! If our percentages dont stay where petco thinks they should be, we are fired. Also getting a certificate from petco for going thru the groomer training program means nothing to any other grooming shop! Find a mentor, someone in a private salon willing to teach you! It really is the best way!
