Is Petco a decent place to work?

[nicodimus22]

My local store is listing an opening for sales associate and I'm considering applying. Any current or past employees have an opinion on the company? This would just be a part-time position. I have about 9 years experience with retail store management/sales, and have had a few different types of pets over the years, so it sounded appealing to me. Any thoughts?

Working at the pet store would be like volunteering at the humane society. No can do. My house would eventually look like the pet store.

i think its fine. It would be nice to have some one in a petco that knows this hobby.

The problem with working somewhere like Petco is that you have to have a hard heart. It's hard to watch some pets not get sold, and invariably some get sick and die. Not to say it's a bad job, but you have to be strong.
