Okay so I left corporate (ps) just over a month ago and I don’t know why but I just am not getting comfortable at my new salon. My new salon is great and all and my coworkers are very nice. There’s seriously nothing shady going on and I got lucky getting my new job. However I’m a pretty new groomer (year and a half almost grooming and 6 mos bathing) and I get behind every day. I was grooming 6 dogs no issue at ps and now I can hardly do 4 even if I have a bath dog on my schedule. This job is very much do whatever you want (set up your schedule as you want, work as much as you want) for some reason I feel like that’s screwing me because I decided to start out slow and it’s still too much for me to keep up with. Also a big factor is that all of my coworkers are incredible groomers and I feel so disappointed in my grooms compared to them. They’re very experienced and know how to groom the difficult dogs which is where I fall behind. I guess I never had these problems before but I’m just getting so frustrated because I feel the difference in the work of me and my coworkers. I don’t know if I should stay with it for a while or if I should go back because I might have just not been ready. Does switching salons typically have an effect on how you groom or is it just me?
