Pros

Decent to start grooming. Gives you tools to use.

Cons

They teach you QUANTITY. Please please propel yourself to focus on quality and handscissoring. And PET SAFETY. They do not care about you. You’re a number. If you are hurt and need to be gone they will find ways to legally fire you. If you have someone, especially a manager, inappropriately harassing people you will have to FIGHT tooth and nail to get store management to care. Band together with your salon and make progress against management. They will try to force you to groom when the conditions are too cold or too hot to safely groom. They will get upset when you take pets to the vet for their health. They also do not like you to take more than one vacation a year.
