Petco reviews

There was the lack of instruction to new employees. I was only to work the register but there are a handful of weekly sales goals management expects and none were ever explained to me until I failed to reach them (and was then punished). One of the managers would easily let blame slide to associates even if customers called him out by name (if they'd spoken to him earlier, etc). The GM of the store was reluctant to let the cashiers do ANYTHING else. I ended up leaving because I was tired of working a register 8 hours a day for 6 months straight and asked for more responsibility. I was not the only one who couldn't do much else.

Pay increases in recent years have been cut significantly although company seems to have continued to do well. Some of the numbers they expect you to reach to get a decent raise are not attainable. Regional management can play favorites, holding some stores to different standards than others or helping certain managers more than others. Payroll is always an issue, with more being expected with fewer and fewer hours. Advancement above store level is limited, there are only so many DM or regional jobs and a move to corporate (San Diego) if something came open, is not possible for everyone
