Pros

Some kind people, Then you have some people who were just not understanding or caring. It was a nice experience to have this job for a while, some were helpful, but a lot of unnecessary stress due to drama or judgement by some. i loved working here, with the animals and people you get to meet. i tried my best to meet their expectations.

Cons

The only problem i had was when i was in the hospital for probably a week, i was in and out of the ER some days, and my manager knew that or my other co workers, but i was pushed to come in even though i had surgery, they didn’t show compassion or care that i was in a lot of pain, or admitted in the hospital..they just wanted me to work regardless..

Pros

Awesome work place, loved working with the dogs, great coworkers

Cons

A lot of things would break and it would take a while to get fixed, but that's mainly a corporation problem.

Pros

Grooming school was free and they paid for mileage so I got a nice $900 check 2 weeks after I completed grooming school

Cons

I did not like the way other groomers treated their 4 legged clients. Slamming cage doors in their faces, allowing them to stand in their own feces. They had a vet in the back of the store so all sick and contagious animals walked all throughout the store before reaching the vet office. Management is a joke they only care about the numbers . Could go into so much more. But I no longer shop or work there with good reason
