Pros

Probably nothing. Maybe the fish tank but they keep letting the fish die by not cleaning it or feeding them. I wish I could give no stars

Cons

This company is run by a crook. I was a previous employee and when I asked for documentation for my paystubs, my proof of employment ending, and my tools back I was told no or blatantly ignored. I was told by the "manager" to tell specific clients we couldn't do their extra services and then she lied about it. I have emailed the owner several times as well as messaged her directly on Facebook and she refuses to follow the law and supply me my legal documents. The owner is the epitome of trash. In addition my personal clippers were broken while servicing a client and the ones that were given as a replacement were taken back when I was leaving

• Poor management and retaliation for raising concerns • Unauthorized schedule changes with no notice • Unfair NCE pressure and write-ups despite strong sales performance • Micromanagement from 400+ miles away with no understanding of local conditions • High turnover due to bad communication and bullying
