The drama is heightened in
businesses where management is ineffective,
and allows it. When owners lose management
control of their businesses full-charge
groomers with seniority (usually working on
commission) execute a takeover of sorts.
Actually it’s the owners’ fault, not theirs.
Some has to be in charge in any business.
We are not entirely criticizing employees.
Your worst case scenario is to become employed
by a business where every groomer has built a
"mini-empire" within the business. Typically
your senior co-workers will claim all or most
of new customers to boost or pad their
clientele and new hires get leftovers.
If you are working on commission, not a
guaranteed salary, who knows how much work you
will have from day-to-day. New groomers
working in these poorly-managed businesses
often feel beaten down by the lack of
teamwork. They learn the hard way that it will
take time to gain enough seniority to prosper.
There is a lot additional drama in these
environments that we will leave well enough
alone.
Teamwork is not common in pet grooming.
Personally we celebrate owners who make it a
reality. Thousands of grooming businesses lack
operations under the control of managers
achieving the goals of written business plans.
We have helped hundreds of owners to regain
and resume the control they should have never
lost or sublimated.
Perhaps you better understand why there is
chronic need of employees in our industry for
as long as we can remember. Many groomers
depart employment into self-employment simply
to be free of the competitive environments,
and bless them because they want to see things
work right in grooming! It’s how they restore
the dream to enjoy working with pets. We have described a tainted picture about
employment, but we want to assure you
thousands of grooming business and departments
will welcome you. We warn you in order to
create more self-awareness of your power to
choose the appropriate work environment. If
you become an employer we hope that you will
learn and support teamwork in pet grooming
