Pros
Entry level job. As a temporary job for high school students looking to make some summer money, this would be an okay place to look.
Cons
Any expertise in the animal field is completely overlooked - employees are 'trained' to Petco standards which are completely inadequate. Store focus becomes product oriented, not enough hours are provided to complete animal care, specialists are constantly working the register or stocking shelves, and the animal care SUFFERS. When senior management is notified of these issues (repeatedly), promises are made, but zero action is taken. Constant changes to planogram and store layout demand time and attention, and ultimately frustrate both the employees (who have to reorganize) and the customers (who can no longer find the products they're used to purchasing). High turnover rate due to emotional exhaustion.
