Pros

Definitely working with animals and local shelters, Decent (ish) pay, and great work life balance depending on your manager. If you need time off, its usually no problem as long as you give notice.

Cons

Poor management. DMs do not care to hear employees out about problems. Health insurance is expensive and doesn't actually do anything. They don't like to give you your PTO even though you're supposed to get it. They would rather keep problematic employees who barely work over tenured employees who go above and beyond.

Pros

Next round my house about 1 minute away

Cons

Pay was not explained well in interviews I say explain but in reality was intentional cover up with quick and confusing explanation. 2 week after i received my paycheck it was obvious what the scam was. The company is for lazy groomers that don’t like to work and call in all the time . No power groomers can’t stay there . They have a method of hourly and commission. It’s not hourly vs commission . It’s a trick were they pay you your hours at a 15 an hour fake overtime and they throw the lowest left over as commission. So basically you grooming your behind off for basically for 15 an hour no matted if you do 8 dogs with deshed and big dogs at the end your commission is about 100 in 35 hours . It’s a joke as soon I saw my paycheck I realized the deceive and tactic. If you are not awaken mentally you will fall for it . I ask for my 2 week same day I got my paycheck and understood the withhold of information. The should be ashamed of how ridiculous they stand for money hungry rich losers . They will always have the lazy not too bright employees.
