Pros

Health insurance? But this place makes you ill

Cons

Honestly, I’ve never worked in environment that’s less healthy. The senior leadership here are not good people. It’s every man for himself, partners of no consequence. Everything is super shallow. All anyone focuses on is the superficial messaging. Behind the curtains, it’s a royal mess and no one cares. The CEO has gotten rich from the IPO and it’s all about that for him and for his insular senior team rubbing their greedy hands together at the expense of everyone else. In reality he could care less about Petco and doing what’s right. Someone should write this place up as a case history of what not to do. I am sure the stock will tank because with the culture like this it’s inevitable. It’s a serious nightmare. I’m doing my good deed today by letting people know : You do not want to come here!

Amateur and unprofessional senior leadership at this company

Pros

More people who are leaving are explaining why. If this company really does want to get better, the info is there

Cons

Working here will make you feel bitter and used. What gets said, tweeted, posted etc is complete BS. There is no “Petco family”, we are not “in it together”, you don’t “work for me.” Instead senior leaders make decisions and do things to promote themselves at the expense of others. No one cares about you and don’t expect anyone to do the right thing here - for employees or for the company. It’s every man for himself, starting from the very top. Women constantly marginalized and put down, even by other women. D&I initiatives are meaningless blather.

Worst Work Culture I’ve Ever Experienced

Pros

If you are salaried, unlimited PTO

Cons

Where to start? Hostile, dog-eat-dog culture. I’ve never seen people treated with such disrespect, despite all the equalitymatters# and #dignityfor all posts by management. Petco routinely cycles through people with total disregard to the impact on them and their families. Upper management gets almost completely replaced every 2-3 years because nothing works here and no one pulls in the same direction. When the manager changes, so do the reports. Come here at your peril.
