Pros

Great starting point to learning dog training

Cons

You will run your own department for minimum wage, be expected to be available on-call without on-call pay, and be forced to split your time between the cash register and training

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.
