PETCO – “I NEVER saw one hourly "wellness check" of any in store pets.”

Pros

Still looking for one. Does not getting any training count? Maybe having all nite shifts, till 11:00 P.M.?? I know.....lots and lots of weekends when you offer an open availability.

Cons

Where Pets come first is only a clever marketing slogan at this location. Truth be known, I found pets that were for sale; sick , beat up, and neglected almost every shift. Employees are never given enough time to properly care for them. Sales come first,not pets,not customers, not staff. It's all about the numbers look great! Not too hard to boast when your the only pet store in the city. Come on Mr. James M. Myers wake up. I invite you to St. Augustine any night or weekend to visit your St. Augustine location here, with - NO- inter-company knowelge. A true no-know visit. Are you ready to see how we live? Please see if you can eat in a break room where free range cats get vac's. By all means use the bath rooms. Please think about using the fridge for your food, or the microwave. All this should give you a pretty good idea of how YOUR animals are cared for. Mr. Myers, your employees are not treated any better than the animals, pretty scary right?

Advice to Senior Management

For goodness sake, please go into retail, where the stock does not need to breath. Or get some -one in the St. Augustine location that cares more about pets than numbers. Get an a.s.m. that isn't guilty of dating an hourly employee(against company policy). And by all means, come any weekend or weekday evening and try to get help, any help from any personal that isn't already over worked. The store manager and a.s.m. have loads of excuses, little store hours, and despite that, all their employees still do their very best. The crew are very hard working caring people, doing their best, even with the bad hand that the are being delt.
