Petmate reviews

1. Layoffs/Restructuring quarterly. 2. No transparency even when on the brink of bankruptcy. 3. No growth opportunities. Someone bragged about waiting 11 years for a management role. 4. Annual raises are below the national inflation rate. Normally 2%

Leadership, including the VP level, plant management and production mgr, did not foster a supportive or collaborative work environment. Decision-making was often reactive, with blame being redirected rather than accountability taken. Training and development were inconsistent, and policy enforcement appeared selective, which contributed to low standards and inconsistent expectations. Preventive maintenance was not prioritized, resulting in equipment downtime, safety concerns, and unsustainable operations. Continuous improvement efforts lacked follow-through, and overall workplace culture suffered as a result. Unfortunately, this was one of the least effective organizational environments I have worked in.
