Pros
- You have set scheduled hours (at least I did) - It could be fun if your grooming co workers are a great team - You get decent tips if your customers appreciate your work - The pay could be good if you work your butt off. (I was $6.00 or 40% commission, whichever was higher) -You are in a separate department that's closed off from the rest of the store so while there's chaos out there your department could be great - You get to be around the dogs and cats (if your groomer is trained to work on them) - You become friends with a lot of customers and they some of them only want you to work on their dog (some of which gave great tips like $20.00, etc.)
Cons
- Pay could be better if you don't get a chance to meet commission - If your coworkers are cut throat it's hard to make commission - Management only cared about numbers and could care less about the department other than money - Customers would request ridiculous styles or non policy treatments (dyeing fur color, etc) and will get p-ssed off if they don't get their way - Coworkers could be lazy and not help with the daily cleaning which included the garbage, the vacuum cleaning, cleaning the crates, and refilling stock. -Most customers won't leave a tip, and if they do the main groomer will probably hog all of it because even they do something small like trim furr around the feet they think they earned it even if you did everything else.
