Pros
I got the opportunity to learn a trade and pursue a dream career path. Dental and medical benefits, paid vacation & sick days. The security of a base rate of pay on top of weekly commissions. I don't have to seek out my own clients, I can just come to work and groom. The security of knowing you are insured against any grooming incidents or injuries. Charitable donations and work with adoption partners to improve the lives of rescue and foster animals.
Kontras
Negative Corporate culture since New Ownership in 2015 - largely focused solely on $$. Staff are treated as 'cannon fodder' churned and burned to make as much $$ as possible. I don't feel as though I am valued as an individual and team morale is extremely low. Blatant favoritism and bullying behavior portrayed by poor and unprofessional Management. Extremely stressful conditions and constantly being pushed to sell more. Forced to work every weekend and holidays etc.
