Smoke and Mirrors - Front Desk Receptionist Collar & Comb Employee Review

Hourly pay so you get paid no matter how busy or slow it is…. The clients are used to the process so no matting or nasty aspects to this position. It’s clean and beautiful and reputable proud to be employed by them. On occasion management feed us when we don’t have time to grab food there’s also keurig for caffeine fiends . Management is awesome as is reception staff .

It’s 1099 so insurance and taxes have to be taken into account . No bathers which doesn’t make sense No opportunities for advancement No employee handbook to reference for actual policy and procedures because there likely aren’t any rules are being made up as we go. Very little grooming experience taken into account in the design of all locations some aspects of the design can actually cause hardship on groomer and hinder the process. (Ie lack of grooming tables and dryers at each station as opposed to each room so each room should have one heated one non heated dryer as we need both an ac AND dehumidifier and temperature gauge to monitor the room temperature)

Getting to work with animals everyday

The owner has no idea how to run a grooming salon. He will throw out buzzwords to make it seem like he knows what hes talking about but dont be fooled. This job is a 1099 but he treats you like a W-2 employee. The owner is also extremely tempermental, he will scream at you and say that he is "passionate" He is also very greedy, if he can charge a client for breathing the same air as him he would. He has cussed out clients often and hes proud for firing 300+ clients in the span of 4 months. He also severely underpays his employees, and has a history of not paying them.
