What suggestions do you have for management?
"Hire people who will actually love their job, rather than hire someone who wants a manager position for the power they get. Do a higher background check."

"There are far too many new rules and policies coming out every week (it seems like!) that don't make sense and place severe restrictions that keep us from doing our jobs effectively."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Have the people making the policies do a little more research. Or better yet, have them actually work in the stores before policies."

What suggestions do you have for management?

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Try not to come across as too uptight. It's a very relaxed atmosphere."
What don't you like about working at The Village Groomer?
"General lack of knowledge of animal behavior and controling aggresive dogs. I want to be as prepared and safe as possible."
What suggestions do you have for management?

"Petco Grooming needs to have more rules and be more organized."
What do you like about working at PETCO?
"What I liked about working at Petco Grooming was that I get to interact with the dogs, and make them feel better. Sometimes I would get in a really matted dog and just by shaving it down and giving it a good bath you could tell that the dog was so much happier."
What don't you like about working at PETCO?
"What I did not like about working at Petco Grooming was that it was not organized at all. The appointment book was never on point. Sometimes they would only have one groomer and one bather with 15 dogs a day. They never had the right supplies and it would take them forever to order new supplies. It was very unorganized."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Get new management, better employees, and give the grooming department adequate supplies and attention."
