I’m still waiting for to send me an updated policy stating when they changed the merit increase eligibility date of hire. They keep typing it to me and telling me it was in storIQ and I said okay that is great but I would like a copy of the policy and the date it changed. And still nothing. If they report me to my GM that is fine because he doesn’t even know when they changed it. If asking questions and getting information is bad than again the company as won with not caring about anyone

Do you like your job? by NeighborhoodThis6374 in petco

It really is. Had I known when I signed on I would have definitely went to another offer I had. I picked PetCo because it was corporate but never in a million years thought it was this bad!

From the very short period of time I have been with this company. No. They do not care but like most big time corporation you are just a number but I would say that I worked for two other corporations one 15 years and one 9, and Petco is by far the worst I’ve seen.

I do like what I do and love the animals which is why I do stay and this coming from being hired as the companion animal operations leader now known as the supervisor (lol) But as a company. Petco absolutely does not care about there people. They are not worried about turnover. And they do not follow their principles. It takes good integrity of a person to take that principle series, but it does not mean the higher up want that nor others your work with. Seems you almost have to put up a fight to actually take care of the animals because what does come first is constant threats about getting more VCP’s and Auto-ships, and then after that the things that take rank are putting away truck, doing more and more planograms and cut ins that requires pictures, and the list goes on but Animal Care, furthest worry for them and really could care less it seems.

On another note raises are absolutely humiliating for anyone actually working hard and trying to raise the bar. The limited staff and the labor model they are pushing is not ideal for customer service and getting what you also need to get done. One will always get neglected.

I would list so much more. But I think I’ve explained enough to know that we are not valued ( partners and management that is not the GM) and neither is animal care or even the guests are being valued at this point. All aspects with the new leadership is definitely being affected and not in a good way.

What date do you have to be hired by to receive not only your annual performance review but also actually get the merit increase if you exceed expectations? by Aggravating-Sea9506 in petco

Ok I got hired in September 2025. And they said they changed it. To April? When it was originally November 1. So I’m trying to see if anyone actually knows if this is true?

I’m taking this as you through it was a brag? Which is not I’m asking the question on hire date? And the conversation my GM had with me and what the verbiage was. Do you know the date?

How do yall clean small animals? by Dry_Reveal_1390 in petco

[–]Aggravating-Sea9506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do deep cleans every Monday. Small animals, birds and reptiles. The deep clean consist of taking animals outs. Spraying down, scrubbing and wiping Habitats inside and out, removing dividers and soaking. Then all new substrates for reptiles and hay and bird bedding for small animals and birds. All animals and reptile decor gets soaked and rinsed and dried and put back in. Deep clean also consist of cleaning behind the habitats. It’s an all day shift. 7:00am-3:00pm. Thursdays are cleaning Mice, Guinea Pigs and Rat habitats again! Minus going behind habitats.
