Pros

Petco has opportunites for growth if you are patient and have a manager willing to go to bat for you. It also can be a very fun place to work- like all retail stores, it all depends on your team of management and coworkers. There is a lot of work to be done, and if you work hard it's easy to stand out.

Cons

Too much politics. The district manager pins general managers on one another, so every store secretly hates all the others. The district manager says one thing and does another. I've worked for many retail companies and would still be at Petco if it weren't for the district manager, she's very untrustworthy.

Pros

At my location, everyone gets along without a doubt! Its a never ending learning job and I enjoy it here. I would have to say the people I work with are like family and we watch out for one another. The GM and team leads are very VERY nice and easy to talk to.

Cons

I think that the people who do work for Petco and know a lot about the animals are getting under paid. I personally think that if you want the hard working and the ones that really know what they are talking about should be getting paid a bit more. Really, they are considered valuable employees that you know YOU want to represent the company. Think about it.
