Pros

Some small portions of leadership within Petco are terrific. But some act without integrity, manage their own agenda, show favoritism and are hypocrites. Most of the store teams and employees at Corp are great.

Cons

The lack of honesty, respect and integrity from your territory, market management teams and some managers are Corp make for a challenging and at times hostile work environment. Most of the employees are dedicated and hard working people and want to be aligned with the senior lead ship teams. Your territory and market managers and some managers at Corp are NOT aligned and managing to their own agendas.

Pros

friendly store managers usually good discounts nostalgic

Cons

Forced to stay short staffed. Couldn't take proper breaks most days as a closing lead unless it was during the first few hours of shift. At the time the regional manager seemed more worried about the aesthetics of the back animal rooms floor that only employees saw when we had ac issues, issues getting access to an exotic vet, and only had enough hours to have two employees working at a time most shift on most days. I only had a couple interactions but that was one of them. Could not call off sick without leaving the store scrambling to find someone to stay open. Also sold improper habitats.
