Got a new job

Well, I know that it's not a favorite of the forums, but I got a new job. I am now a Petco associate . They are willing to work with my schedule for classes, and I actually find the other people who work in the fish department pretty cool. They seem to mostly know their stuff. We'll see how it works out. I do get a 20% discount on things! Cheap salt, and other cool gear.

Use what you have read about Petco as a lesson as how to treat people and turn the bad rep around.

Congrats.

Congrats on your new job. I agree with LionFish, this is an opportunity for you to have a great fish department.

Re: Got a new job

congrats. make it an opportunity to let it be the bright shining star of petcos. it will be somewhat hard since sometimes thier distributors are really really poor, but as long as you know what your doing and treat people how you want to be treated it could be a wonderful opportunity for you.
