Petco reviews

-Extremely low salaries. Many employees at corporate level from store level who lack college education or recent college grads. This presumably lowers the salary bar. The result is high turnover of employees with credentials leaving the lower-qualified and less-motivated employees as long-term employees in the building. -Building is gross. Lower building has inadequate parking. Those with allergies to pet dander need not apply. Often marks on wall from pets. Few bathrooms for the number of employees.

The condition of the animals was very bad before I arrived. I kept things as clean as possible all the time (particularly the birds and rodents) but the employees that I replaced did not care enough to even try. On the one hand I loved working with the animals and wanted to ensure that their living conditions were good, but on the other hand I realized that I was in part supporting an organization that did not maximize the animals' welfare. I'm no PETA nut, but I have mixed feelings about the whole situation. Low pay. I worked hard and deserved more. My manager gave the pay raises that he was allowed to give. The company makes money by not paying the employees enough to make the job attractive on monetary terms alone and counting on people who just want to help animals.
