Interview
I interviewed with the owner, Kyle. She sent me several long texts early in the morning and told me to be at her home that night. She didn't bother to see if that time would even work for me.
The interview was extremely uncomfortable. I was asked a ton of inappropriate questions about my family, personal beliefs and even my student debt. I remained polite and tried to answer, anyway. But it was hard when she was interrupting me constantly to brag about herself or talk badly about a former employee.
I don't even know what position I was supposed to be interviewing for, because she kept changing the job description. I was offered the position, and accepted it despite how awful the interview was. But I changed my mind the next day when she called and YELLED at me for several things I did in the interview.

Interview
I had multiple interviews with Kyle, as well as a visit to a client's home. To start with the positives: I do admire the detail in which she runs her business and the genuine care she seems to have for client's pets. After my first interview at the office I was very excited to work there.
After actually starting some work in the field, however, I discovered that she has an incredibly short fuse and little patience for a new employee trying to learn the ropes. I felt like she already wanted me to understand how everything works, and was overly irritated when I did something wrong. She is very specific about the way to contact her. For example, she texted me about a client, so I texted her back a question. She then called me saying how I should never text her and always call. Ok... Then I was sent eleven emails in one day, each very long and detailed regarding the company rules and policies. In other words, just a lot of information to look over. I misunderstood that she wanted me to respond to one of them, and two days later she called and YELLED at me over the phone.
In my brief time there, I got the sense that PPN has a high turn-over of employees. That combined with my experience above and other reviews I read online made me not accept the position in the end.
