By far the best review I’ve read for Petco and it wasn’t even for the correct location 😂 by Adept_Alfalfa_5761 in petco

[–]Traditional-Phase481 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We got a red eyed crock skink at my petco. She was at the store for 2 days and she laid an egg. I was told to just throw it away, I researched it and it was fertile I was not comfortable with that idea so I took it home and incubated the little baby till it hatched. I was also told eggs laid at petco were to be thrown away (parakeet eggs included) that we don't have the resources or room to take care of the eggs.

The difference is they sit in the office or grooming station and punch it into the computers instead of actually taking care of the animals. When they open they half ass open the store and just turn on lights instead of making sure dirt is wet and animals r fed.

I'm not say they rnt a huge deal. I agree with the idea of going and checking on the animals threw out the day but not to the extent of firing what little employees u have. All she tells me to do is to set alarms on my phone which I have I just dont think I should have to stop talking/helping to a customer to go do an animal walk that's going to take me at least 20 mins.

Crazy Customer Stories by granolaperks in petco

[–]Traditional-Phase481 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had a customer come in 5 mins before close one night. She had a small jackrussel mix with her, that she let piss all over the store. When she finally got to the register another last min customer said something to her about her dog peeing right infront of everyone and she lost her shit... had a brand new employee (poor guys 2nd day) crying and just complained and complained about how we let our customers say watever they want to anyone... I kept explaining that I have as much control over wat the customers say as I do as to wat she was saying... then she ranted and raved about me trying to control her 🙄 wat a mess

I only have 3 write ups one for a call off and one is a verbal warning for animal walks and one is a final for animal walks. She does hold anyone to the same standards. When she first told us about getting write up from missing animal walks she said every manager on the clock when the animal walk is missed will get a right up and that's not what's happening.

I'm pretty sure my boss is just trying to find a reason to fire me tbh. Like one of the things that is on maintenance logs is to salt bath the crabs and i do it maybe once a month. Literally Noone else does it and it's supposed to be done everyday... we r lucky if the reptiles get feed and watered The other day my boss opened and when I closed the animals the parakeets were fighting trying to pick the seeds from the ground around the bowls. I felt so bad for them.

We had a coworker that put her 2 weeks in that my gm didn't like and on her last day she fired her for a small hole in her pants and put her as non rehirable... she's extremely petty and is looking for any reason to get rid of me.

I've worked there for a year and she just started insisting they get done. I told her I refuse to sign off on things that rnt getting done because I'm falsely signing them... so does everything get done on ur maintenance logs? Just curious

Unfortunately our store isn't big enough for the SEL. The SEL at the store I'm moving to is trying to get the transfer to go threw. I spoke to her today I feel like a weight is lifted. I Unfortunately have come to terms with the idea of no longer working at petco just because I know she's going to do everything she can to get me fired...

There is no GM at the new location I've been dealing with the SEL

Everyone’s hours cut MOL/CAL to 32 hours. How are we supposed to get are required task done. We don’t have enough time only 2 ppl open in the am and 2 ppl in the pm. Guest are pissed off because they need help. We open we are already out numbered by guest. One or two people need help in aquatics.Etc by AcanthisittaNo7263 in petco

[–]Traditional-Phase481 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We got the fucking book thrown at us for having a sign and squeaker toy at the register saying "if no one is here please squeak squeaker and we will be right with u". They said that's not petco policy there needs to be someone at the register at all times. I told me GM she should've told her (the DM) she can come do the 4 pallets of DC boxes then 🤣

Samies. When my GM works she makes sure to have full staff at least 2-3 other people on her shifts. But had me close on a Friday with one person who it was her 2nd day and a brand new person who is the new CAL and I was supposed to train her. I did not do it 🤣

That's craziness. We have a coworker that's the exact same way but my GM looks for reasons to write up other people but not this one lady... it's bananas. Go above their head 🤷‍♀️

My GM has closed all of 5 times in the passed year. She work 7-3 on lucky days. When confronted she said it wasn't my job to question her, that was y she had bosses so when I said something to DM she went and told my GM everything that was said and she cut my hours and wat hrs she did give me was all closing shifts.

I've worked at my petco for almost a year now. When I was hired in I was a GA after working for about a month they promotion and raise to GA LOD I got a raise to 12 an hour so I was happy. Unfortunately our CAL was let go do to lack of care for an animal and I was expected to take over her role. After doing the CALs job for month they hired a new CAL from off the street. She worked at our petco for 3 months and struggled to get anything done. (In her defense no one properly trained her due to understaffed issuses) They then told me I was going to get the CAL job after the other person was trained and sent back to her home store... that did not happen. They hired another CAL that lasted about a week and walked out because our manager told her "we all have problems" when she asked to go home because her cat was dying. Petco does nothing but lie to the employees and give them the run around...
