Pros

Dogs! Working with the dogs is always a pro. Coworkers are really nice and chill.

Cons

The owner of the business is standoffish and unapproachable. When she is stressed, everyone feels the brunt of it and it's not good.

Pros

-Bond with and get to know so many wonderful dogs. -Shifts do not end late (latest is 8:45, however 90% of the time duties are completed by 8 pm.) -Do private services like walks and private plays one on one with dogs. -Help with fun dog birthday parties (you get to bake the cake/treats, take pictures and play with the dogs on your shift). -Breakroom has an actual cabinet with dishes, cutlery, along with coffee pot, microwave, fridge, and regular snacks for all employees. -Employees are kind and most are hard-working.

Cons

-Often understaffed. -Difficult to adapt to when first starting (you're "thrown to the sharks", employees that train you all have different methods and routines for duties making it hard to understand, many small things to remember that aren't established from beginning, etc.) -Overwhelmed with work often due to understaffing. -Things break or stop working semi-often, like the washing machine, hoses, etc. that can cause backup in work. -Manager is often late and may not show up when promised (missed meeting with me, has not shown up to open in the AM, etc.)

Pros

Flexibly with schedule. You can bring your dog to daycare for free as a staff member to skate in the pee park. The employees (not the supervisors or owner!)are nice and try to help each other when possible.

Cons

No manager! No one is overlooking the staff to ensure that they're taking their mandatory breaks. They take dog in and do not inspect the dogs or ask questions regarding of they have a flea infestation, open wounds, stitches prior surgeries. Prices are never input right for grooming. The daycare area has no floors. It basically a pee skating arena for dogs where they can bump into rusty fences. There is so much drama here. Listen whatever price you're thinking to get paid to work here is not worth it. The environment is not worth it. Also I told staff about an incident where a couple would heavily kiss on the clock in the break room. Then said girl got disciplined but pulled aside by Hr that I had told ok her. Lastly I was called the R word by the owner apparently I was told by staff. Well if its true which I'm sure it is. I decided to quit the day after hearing this. I'm not letting an employer treat me like that. Good luck with this place.
