Pros

Schedule flexibility. I have worked at many stores and the environment varies greatly from one to another.

Cons

As Petco attempts to purchase the company back from the investment firms which currently own it, they appear to have forgotten how to treat lower level employees.

Pros

Awesome to work with pets Great discounts for customers and employees It's always a positive helping fellow pet enthusiasts find their products they desire

Cons

Hours can be a drag, when it's slow, and you're not really focused, the hours could go by very slow. Managers should be more flexible.

Pros

I get to work with pets all day- what's not to love. Also, my coworkers are actually great people and my boss is really understanding of my school and personal schedule.

Cons

The money (or lack thereof) is my main complaint- I make minimum wage with no chance for a raise, while associates are eligible for raises.
