      It's a job not a career. You'll be fine.

      Pros

      Your employee discount is 20% and you form relationships with some really great customers who really listen to what you have to say and offer.

      Cons

      Customers are very demanding and downright rude. Senior management hires then promotes their friends who are not qualified for the positions they are placed in. Senior management will make you work in a department but not certify you for it because they don't want to give you a raise.

      Pros

      Its the best place i have ever worked. By working hard and showing how much i care for the animals and my co-workers i have been rewarded with promotion after promotion. In less then a year and a half i worked my way up from bather all the way to A.S.M.. Way to many people cry about not getting paid enough. For a guy with no college education or management experience i would say my pay is well over what they could've paid me! Petco is a great place to work you just have to have passion to work there.

      Cons

      Payroll is the only downside.

      Pros

      You are around pets constantly which is a great thing for all the pet lovers out there. When you are in a horrible mood, you can brighten your day by taking out a conure or a ferret. The best part is really the 20 percent discount that you recieve, which is a blessing when you have tons of animals.

      Cons

      The payroll is extremely limited by far where the GM and ASMs are having to do the brunt of all the work. Being the highest paid stocker sounds nice in theory; however, that is also the problem...you are doing nothing but merchandise. There's not really a such thing as management when you are an assistant because you are constantly doing the "helps' " work.
