"It's not a bad place to work at all if you're familiar with customer service and passionate about animals. However, management can be a wild card to deal with as there aren't many policies in place to support their employees. "

"Be patient and know that opportunities are expanding, at least for now. But keep an eye out for the pockets of gender-bias that do still exist. The good news is, Petco is recognizing and working to eliminate them."

"It really depends on your position. Retail is notorious for needing specific times and work loads. But Petco does a pretty good job as a whole in trying to help with that. In my position, I have been granted a HUGE amount of flexibility. But I've had to pay my dues and earn it."

"Unsure of the exact amounts. I know that there is a paid paternal leave that even includes adoption. And I know that we can take an unpaid Leave of Absence after that. I know of at least one person who was out for almost a year. But they held her position."

"Flexible work hours and locations but please negotiate compensation package before you join the company. HR usually offer lower than market price. The raise is really low. Don't expect on the raise, too.
Career development is unclear so people really don't know how they can get promoted. Promotions usually depends on your relationship with your supervisor, nothing to do with your performance."

"I think you have to be a pretty feisty person to work in this environment, get really good at negotiating, develop a hard shell, and fight everyday to maintain your position and your career track. There is no one helping you, or anyone."
