Pros

Great clients that stand by their stylists.

Company doesn’t value or respect their groomers, just a number making a wild amount of money for a greedy company more focused on quick expansion & high turnover rates.

Avoid like the black plague.

Pet stylist (dog groomer)
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Providing professional dog grooming services and cultivating positive client relationships.

Cons

We are experiencing challenges with excessive driving, price gouging on the prices for clients, clients complaining about the price increase and spamming, reduced compensation, inadequate communication regarding lunch breaks and drive times, and an overly restrictive Slack community, leading to a high turnover rate among groomers. You won't grow in this company as a dog groomer, they'll hire leading managers outside of this field. You get a low bonus twice a month rebooking, most of the time they will not schedule again due to the price increase. They lie to the clients constantly.
