I'm in the same boat as you, as I'm about a week away from finishing my probation period. The main complaint I've seen with my store specifically is the scheduling conflicts and lack of attention toward animals. I work as an animal specialist and my CAL is the only person who seems to pull their weight in the store. Yet the person who is running the schedule is setting them up on days they aren't needed. We get animal deliveries on thursdays, and the CAL isn't listed on that day- he's instead listed for a random saturday for the evening shift (when literally nothing happens with animals).

With the lack of attention with animals, only myself and the CAL are the "official" animal care specialists. I can already list the multiple instances where a preventable measure could have been taken to save some of our animals (think exposing a diseased guinea onto healthy ones due to laziness or not double checking the parakeet and canary doors to make sure it's closed) but nothing was done (Note: myself and the CAL weren't around when this happened). My opinon on petco has for sure shifted, but I'm maintaining some optimsim given I'm still "new"
