      A good place to work

      Pros

      Very flexible, competitive wages, transfer options, advancement opportunities, benefit package. If you are a hard working individual with ambition and initiative this could be a great carrer move.

      Cons

      Senior managements inability to understand field associates concerns. Very streamlined work, must be able to perform all job functions. If the senior team took a step back and listened to the stores there could be more success then what is currently being seen.

      Pros

      Good place to work. High standards and expectations but that typical of retail or at least it should be. Easy carrer progression if you work hard. No real pick up in business right after thanksgiving. Real increase is late december and January.

      Cons

      Politics are present here just like every other corporate job. Pay is less than most other retailers but thats to be expected when you really only have to put in about 45 hours per week as a GM.

      Coupons Taking Out of Groomer Wages>

      Pros

      Its a job. I'm lucky I work under good management and the salon I work in is one of the best design salon built. We also have a prebook system that some air head thought was a good idea but has proven to fail. I do like the people I work with, even though we have NO TOWELS for the clients dogs, we do have SMALL RAGS the size of a wash cloth to dry the clients dogs but a rag better than nothing. We are a new store which also makes it nice work in.

      Cons

      I'd like to know when Petco puts out coupons for dog food etc. is the coupon deducted from the cashier wages? If not. Then why is the coupons deducted from the groomers wages. The groomers aren't just grooming, there retreiving carts, doing carry outs, cleaning bathrooms, driving to the vets office across town.Groomers get the lowest pay. Coupons are deducted out of the groomers wages, The public is under the impression that Petco is giving them the discount unknowings to the public that their discount is being deducted from the groomer wages. A multi million dollar business is taking away what hard wages the groomers work for.
