Pros

Great clients and experienced, knowledgable staff. Clean environment. Offers a great variety of services. Amazing, experienced groomers! You can bring your dog(s) to work. Flexibility when wanting time off.

Cons

Pay is low. Moral doesn't exist. Lack of management and training. It's like pulling teeth when trying to get paid, especially if you worked for employer for a short period of time. Frequently short staffed. No benefits. Owner is very unprofessional and always blames her staff. Owner is inexperienced when it comes to customer service, she has no idea how to handle conflict in a professional manner. Job security is very low. Owner rarely helps her staff out.

Pros

The only Pros I really gained while being employed at Prairie Dog was more knowledge in dog behavior, and the friendships I acquired with other staff members.

Cons

There is no real advancement in employment. You're not paid nearly what you are worth, because caring for an excess amount of dogs on top of cleaning 5,000sq. ft. of facility nightly is A LOT of hard work. Kelly Norton doesn't appreciate a thing you do, although she will say 'thanks' in an "I-could-care-less" tone. She had at one time accused staff of stealing money from the till, when she was the one who was taking $20 here, $50 there. Working for Prairie Dog means you lie to clients about how their dog's day went. Kelly herself will tell you how hard your dog played! When really, your dog was kept in a kennel more than in a playroom. She'll also steal your money by tacking on extra charges for boarding stays, hoping that staff wouldn't catch it before checking out a client. The business is run by a money-hungry woman who just wants her name known; and doesn't know much about dogs or their behavior. If you really love your dogs, you'll spend your money elsewhere.
