Pros
-Working alone - PTO -Free food sometimes -Don’t have to groom as many dogs a day -Tips are good (When you actually get them)
Cons
- Pricing is insanely high -Pay is ridiculously low ( Hourly rate is less than you would make on commission in a salon) - Bonus structure was changed with no warning causing many to get a pay cut - Insurance benefits are too expensive for us to even afford - Drive times are long and often throughout your day - Sometimes working up to 12hrs a day - Van maintenance is slow - If you complain about pay they tell you to just pick up more hours - No manager/ barely any support on weekends - The team who makes your schedule do not have experience in the industry and will often give you a schedule worth crying over - Desperate to hire more groomers so will just hire anybody with shears these days
