Pros

Mostly just have to groom, all scheduling is taken care of. They don't give you a hard time about calling out, or scheduling vacation time. Hub manager is very supportive. Appreciate that they have a cleaning team to take care of the van at the end of the day. Upper management sometimes listens to feedback but not always.

Cons

My biggest complaint is the pay. They claim to pay a lot more than they actually do on their indeed ad. In reality, they rely on customers to pay your salary through tips, after charging them exorbitant prices. If you have more than a few years of experience grooming I would stay away from this company, as they do not pay a fair wage to a groomer who can make much more elsewhere.
