      you'll definitely get a work out in, lots of big bags of dog food to stock all night every night

      it never ends, I can't believe how many people buy all that dog food all day everyday

      Not Worth It

      Former employee

      Pros

      The discounts. That's pretty much it. 40% off petco brand or partnered stuff was really nice. So was free dog training.

      Cons

      Everything else lol. The pay is not great, especially for the work they expect from you. Upper management is abysmal which causes GMs to either treat their employees like garbage or take on more than they could ever handle as one person. Regularly was denied not only my 15 minute breaks but also my 30 minute breaks due to short staffing. But instead of working to fix this, upper management would continue to cut hours for the store due to "poor performance"...despite the fact that said "poor performance" was directly caused by short staffing and an inability to get everything in the store done. Was regularly made to stay late past my scheduled shift time, even some nights until midnight despite closing at 9pm. All just to get the store looking presentable because there were only two employees in the building the entire day and not enough time for them to take care of customers AND keep the store running properly.
