Well to start off, My name is Katie. I worked at this location since August 2025 and now finally grew the courage to leave this disgusting toxic work environment. This person, the franchise "owner" of this location in EastMeadow is the most disgusting selfish money hungry human being I've ever met in my entire life. Neil Patel, this is for you and for everyone to read and know what kind of human being you truly are. To start off, this man takes advantage of his employees by paying them the bare minimum, not even the legal minimum wage for this state and does not provide the proper hours for part time or full time employees. Urvil known for "Uvi" is Neil's Second hand in operating this SCAM of a business. This man works from 9am-9pm EVERYDAY, but strange how he never clocks in, strange cause I thought everyone had to work "on the books" the legal way I suppose, but I guess Uvi is an "exception" for Neil's business. NEIL specifically trains his employees to not tell customers about special deals, price matching or let alone talk about other companies petco, PetSmart, etc. This man hates when customers price match products, or if he overhears you talk about different prices or offer the customer a better deal somewhere else, he holds it against you. Neil Patel, I am tired of keeping my mouth shut! I no longer work for you, so now I can expose the truth of working at your store. You are a disgusting human being, no sympathy for sick employees, won't let employees use their "sick time without a doctors note" is absurd! What if the employee cannot afford to go to the doctor! How will they be able to use their sick time???? Unsanitary workplace, no microwave or fridge for employees to store or heat up food, when on break! This is a disgusting scam of a business you are running and I hope one day they take accountability for their actions! You have millions of cameras in your store, yet you could've afford to get a proper "break room" for your employees. It's disgusting how selfish you are Neil Patel! What a shame! Also the animals these people sell half the time are very Ill and when they notice they are sick they tell the employee to put it in the "back", the animal never gets treatment or seen by a veterinarian, the animal sits in the back waiting on its death bed with no help. NEIL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! If you're gonna own a "PETSTORE" take proper care of the animals you PROFIT OFF OF. Have some human decency!

Hes selfish and does not care at all about his employees or their wellbeing or safety!!! DON'T SUPPORT THIS TRUMP SUPPORTER! Go shop at PETCO, chewy.com, PetSmart, Amazon etc!!!!!
