Pros

Working with pets. Discount. Pay and commisson was great.

Cons

Where do I start? Favortism. Corporate doesn't care. They only care about dog classes. Sometimes they would schedule me and not tell me. Never gave me breaks only lunches. Rude customers. Management would literally yell at their employees. I had a manager that bad mouthed me to other employees and vise versa.

Pros

At first I really enjoyed working here, I loved having hands on experience with the animals and learning more about them. I also loved hands on experience with customers and helping them with their needs.

Cons

After time the work environment become toxic, my managers became rude. And I realized both the manager and the assisted manager talked bad about everyone else. I was blamed multiple times for things that were not my fault, and left to clean up after everyone else’s messes. I was also blamed for a groomer cutting a dog simply because I was entered the grooming salon. I would not recommend working at this location, because you most likely will be talked bad about and get multiple complaints about things that are not your fault.
