@wayfareringstranger Ouch, that'd be pretty harsh. I'd feel bad for the customers. I hope my experience will be different.

@ashleysavedbygrace The manager sounded super nice on the phone so hopefully things will go well in person haha! But yeah, I'm using this job as a foot in the door. I've always kind of liked grooming but now I have the chance to actually try it out.

@r3g3nt Nice! Best of luck on all your doggie grooming adventures!

@r3g3nt I did! I'm already in the salon bathing dogs!! I did 3 all on my own today, mind you, they were all small dogs. But still!! Haha

@r3g3nt It went awesome! I got there about 20 minutes prior and just got to hang out with the Salon Manager and a senior groomer which was really nice. We got to chat and there was no "formality". Right before the interview she said that I already made it into the second interview but we have...

@r3g3nt Thank you :) I'm pretty good with "name a time when.." like questions so I'm not to nervous about that. I'll be honest with them about my experiences. I'm just wanting to get my foot in the door some where and this is a good spot at the moment. I see that other posters have had...

@justin_mary 2 every hour doesn't seem that bad, but when you mention the walk-ins, that's going to be hard until like you said I get my multitasking down.

@justin_mary 6 dogs in how much time? Thanks for sharing your experiences and I'll keep the booking system in mind.

@shanewp1988 Thank you, I'm going to scope it out and see for myself how it is. But I will remember all the experiences that every one has had and keep that in mind.

@lookingforjchrist Oh ok, I get how it works now. That's actually kind of neat that they invest in their employees like that.

@lookingforjchrist So the grooming school, is it like "PetSmarts grooming school"? Do they send you there for free? The thing about being a groomer, I kind of wanted to try it out a couple years back and then forgot about it when I found another career. But when I got this call, it spiked my...

@compassion4humanity I'm starting to understand how demanding, both physically and mentally this job will be. But on the other hand, I have a strong passion to be with animals and I believe that out weighs the demands. I'm one of those people who even though I might know something pretty well...

@shikyo792 Oh wow, I anticipate the story! Thats a pretty crazy drop in employees.

@shikyo792 The position I applied for was literately "grooming trainee", it said that you would do things like prep the dogs before their groomings, answer calls, book in appointments, clean up, stuff like that. What do you mean but they lost a quarter of its groomers?

@timberwallace Haha thankfully I always have a back up plan ;)

@timberwallace I do understand your concern, and I know that each store is slightly different, but.. I think I'm going to take a "trail run" just to kind of see what its like. But I will have your wisdom in the back of my head.

Hi guys! First off, sorry for formatting I'm on my phone, secondly I just got a phone call from PetSmart letting me know they want me for an interview for the grooming trainee position! I'm over the moon about this as I've always wanted to pursue grooming. I've owned tons of different breeds...
