Petco is the worst

Pros

Cafeteria, campus and you can bring your pets.

Cons

1. Upper management constantly lies. 2. Upper management has no idea what they are doing and can not articulate the path forward. None of the strategies work and there is too much turnover. 3. Middle management is incompetent. Their only worry is to protect their turf and their job. 4. No training is provided to a new employee. 5. Cost cutting means layoffs every year for the past two years. 6. Terrible benefits, no bonus for at least the past two years. No salary increase at least below the Manager level. Long story short: unless you are desperate for a paycheck, look elsewhere.
