PETCO — 

Petco just plain stinks.

I worked at the St.Louis Petco stores for over four years as an assistant manager.

The quality of the livestock they purchase is horrid and the shipping and handling they employ is criminal.

Animals commonly arrive dead or near death from the shipping.

The bottom line minded corporate morons know nothing about the pet industry except how to milk it for as much profit as they can get by with.

Their best employees are usually fired for bullshit reasons to replace them with cheaper less experienced employees.

Employee theft is rampant.

Training in animal care is virtually non exsistant.

Petco just plain sucks.

Wow, your review is startling and scary. I guess people have no idea what goes on in places they don't work for. I am devastated to hear about the condition of animals upon arrival. Being an avid animal lover and rescuer, I am deeply disturbed. Thanks for the eye-opener.
