Pros

Tips Lots of sweet dogs

Cons

Catty Coworkers It's a business and doesn't really have best interest for you or the dogs, especially dogs with special needs. Extremely low pay considering the risk of injury, back pain and injuries such as bites/scratches that you endure. Additionally, if you damage someones equipment by accident, you must pay for it.

Pros

Great to get you started out in the grooming industry Get to wash your own dogs for free Very rewarding to work with dogs

Cons

Have to sign 2 year contract if you want to get put through school to become a groomer Management is not good at this particular location. Though i have heard that it is not good all around Calgary. Even if you work full time hours as a bather you will only be considered part time until you go through academy and will not qualify for benefits.
