Pros

Interesting to work with animals. You learn a great deal about different animals and how to take care of them. Not super busy.

Cons

No help from other departments. Management keeps changing. They play favorites when considering people for promotions. Sometimes not enough people scheduled for the day.

Pros

Work with pets, earn tips and commission.

Cons

Corporate salon means no logic and reason to the rules and they can change day by day. Pushed to churn as many grooms out as possible instead of do quality work. No clear communication from management and no positive feedback from management, only beratings and lectures and threats to being replaced.
