    PETCO Inventory Manager in Carle Place, NY:   (Current Employee)

    1 of 1 people found this helpful

    Pros

    A steady paycheck and plenty of time to goof off when no one is looking. The hours are good too. Benefits are average and generally if you work mornings, it's nice and quiet.

    Cons

    Assistants make approximately 30k less than general managers and if you get promoted they only give you a 6 or 7 % bump so you will never be on the same level as someone hired from the outside.
    Senior management has absolutely no clue what goes on in the stores. The kids that work here can make your life hell if they don't like you and want to. I've seen them get managers fired just by running to HR and telling some lies. Senior managers also change their mind on a whim , then expect the stores to redo prior directives with no payroll hours.
    Managers usually end up doing the grunt work because there are not enough payroll hours to have the kids do it.
    Animal always come first is an absolute lie! Managers scramble to make them look good when senior management is in town but the overall care is terrible. Mainly because there are not enough hours.

    Advice to Senior Management

    Listen to what your managers need, make pay scales fair across the board and put the focus back on animal care.
