Pluspunten

Abundant Opportunities and Effortless Interviews Working at Petco has been an experience brimming with opportunities and advantages. Right from the start, the company provides an environment that encourages both professional and personal growth. There's a diverse array of positions and departments that allow employees to explore different areas and expand their skill sets. One of the most notable advantages is the interview process. Interviews at Petco are surprisingly straightforward compared to other companies. Candidates feel at ease and are able to confidently express themselves during interviews, creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Minpunten

Challenges in the Human Resources Department However, it's not all smooth sailing at Petco. One of the major challenges employees face is in the Human Resources department, especially in Mexico. While Petco offers numerous opportunities, the lack of concrete feedback can hinder continuous improvement. Employees might feel lost without specific guidance on their performance. Additionally, it has been observed that personal aspects can sometimes hinder communication in the work environment. The HR team often takes things personally, which can complicate problem-solving and effective collaboration. Another aspect of concern is mobility within the company. While Petco promises to cover mobility costs under certain circumstances, some employees have had negative experiences. In certain cases, after offering relocation, the company decides to let go of the employee before making the payment. This has led to frustrations and disillusionment regarding promises made.

Pluspunten

DM is a good person who genuinely wants to support the stores, but unfortunately he’s also caught in the middle of all this chaos.

Minpunten

Literally EVERYTHING! • Extremely limited payroll stores are frequently staffed with only two employees for an entire day, which is not sustainable. • Leadership appears disconnected from store level operations, with little clear direction. Initiatives often feel reactive, as if decisions are being tested without a consistent long term strategy. • Expansion into non pet related products raises concerns about the company’s financial health and overall focus. • Workload is overwhelming, with planogram changes happening frequently sometimes multiple times within the same week. • IT systems are unreliable, and when issues arise, store teams are expected to find workarounds rather than receiving timely support. • Animal care no longer seems to be a top priority at the corporate level. Current setups (e.g., “Desk Pets”) appear inconsistent with the company’s own care standards and guidelines.
