Working at PETCO in Avon, CT: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Avon, CT Area

"I worked there for over 2 years because I loved the work itself, I managed the companion animal department and aquatic department. However, they often pulled me from my job to do others jobs while they sat there drawing and playing pokemon go, leaving my job (animal care) incomplete. I couldnt leave the animals like that, so i often had to work off the clock to take care of them. Upper management took advantage of that and expected me to come in off the clock to take animals to the vet, otherwise they would be left in the back room. I heard rumors the whole time I worked there that certain employees were throwing hamsters with wet tail in the freezer, but didnt have evidence until at the end of my employment, an employee openly admitted to killing hamsters with a hammer behind the dumpster where the cameras couldnt see him. We had an animal cruelty investigation and corporate said it didnt seem like a major issue and theyre not worried about it, so i quit because i didn't want to be a part of it even though i loved the job itself and the pay. The guy who admitted to killing hamsters became their aquatic specialist after i had quit, putting him in charge of more animals. Boss also made very inappropriate remarks to female employees."
