Pros

- Get to see pets all day - Employee discount - Paid higher than minimum wage - Some of the coworkers are nice and friendly

Cons

- Micromanagement is a pain - Not a big enough work space for all that goes on within the Salon - Expected to bathe/brush a dog every hour that you work, plus answer phones, do walk in nail trims and clean the salon, and for the amount of money you make, it doesn't seem worth it. - Poor benefits for part time people - Don't expect to be hired full time - Training was mediocre. -No appreciation for the hard work you're doing.

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.
