Pros

Hours, Working with animals,

Cons

No positive reinforcement for animals --- employees spray dogs and grab them by the muzzle or collar, some dogs are pushed and shoved-- the dog learns nothing and it borderlines on abuse. Every day, you just want to leave and forget what you've seen. You will experience a hard time getting hired if you don't "look" the part. I've heard my manager deny people based on their looks or their voice, of course they were never told this wasn't why they weren't hired. No set lunch periods.

Pros

The dogs, their parents, and MOST of the employees.

Cons

Owners only care about money. Prices will go up immediately, and without warning for parents. Hours are cut without enough warning. They expect more without paying for it, or staffing correctly. They butt in to everything, and do things incorrectly without informing the correct people. They are rude and fake. All parents that have met them are horrified that they own this business. Dogs actually dislike them, and this has been witnessed many times by several employees. Not to mention they hire and keep a convicted child molester while there is a minor on staff. They also save parent's credit card info without asking, and will charge it without informing parents. This is not legal in this state. Just awful. 100% do not recommend.
