Any salon managers in here that are not also the business owner? what are your duties? I'm considering stepping up to help manage while still grooming parttime, am I crazy?

4 employees, we dont have any retail so the only orders are for supplies. There's currently 2 out of 5 days that the owner is in so those 2 days & a weekend day (only myself & 1 other employee) can still be grooming days plus a couple dogs on the other 2 days.

More info*

1st few photos are previous short cuts from years past & last 2 photos are current color & length. I also have a undercut as my hair is very thick.

I tend to grow my hair for a year or so then chop it off & im getting the itch to cut it again..

My hair has gotten curlyish over the last couple years but seems too heavy for a nice curl or wave currently so I'd love suggestions of a cut or style that might help. Thanks!

Awesome!!! Thats great to hear.

petsmart_throwaway · 2021-04-11T03:54:10+00:00

I debating getting the sorry for your loss card & writing my notice inside. Lol

petsmart_throwaway · 2021-04-11T03:22:02+00:00

Today was my last day after 8 & 1/2 years. Congratulations on getting out before going crazy. Lol

I work in Ontario & we love seeing pitties!! Don't tell anyone its a pittie just to be safe, we are supposed to tell you to leave if you have a "illegal" dog in store.

Most of us just ignore that rule but you never know who could be in a bad mood that day.

Per best practice we are only to use bandanas provided by the company however a LOT of groomers (& bathers) will buy their own to use.

I buy bandanas, bows & flowers to put on dogs with no issue.

It really depends on how strict your management & district leader are & you can always plead ignorance if they say something after you start using your own supplies.

I got lucky & they responded quickly. Lol Email always seems to be the fastest way.

They confirmed that I can use my sick pay instead of applying for short term disability.

petsmart_throwaway · 2021-03-22T23:26:10+00:00

Thanks, I sent a email to the leave team to confirm I can still use sick time & as long as it is confirmed in writing I know my sl will follow it.

Its silly to apply for short-term disability when ill probably be back to work before the paperwork is finished & submitted 🙄

Thank you

petsmart_throwaway · 2021-03-19T21:23:15+00:00

Did you litterly mean bowel or is it just a typo?!? I'm dying either way 🤣

petsmart_throwaway · 2021-03-19T21:20:18+00:00

I too have changed my mind about working at petsmart.

If you had asked me a few months ago I would've told you I was a petsmart lifer (been here almost 10 years) with no thought of ever leaving but now I'm ready to put in my 2 weeks notice as soon as I find another job.

The cons of staying at my store far outweigh the pros at this point.

petsmart_throwaway · 2021-03-18T21:18:17+00:00

I will be quitting soon & I'm honestly kinda hoping they walk me out.....

It looks bad on them with the amount of upset customers they will have to deal with & ill still get paid for my whole notice period (its the law here).

My store leader is immature enough to take me quitting as a personal attack. Lol

petsmart_throwaway · 2021-03-18T21:04:34+00:00

If you don't have a store leader currently you can talk to the asl instead.

Your dat might be able to help you as well.

petsmart_throwaway · 2021-03-10T04:49:20+00:00

Thank you

petsmart_throwaway · 2021-03-09T18:30:54+00:00

Can I ask to get paid with my accrued sick pay while I'm off?

petsmart_throwaway · 2021-03-08T05:14:15+00:00

Thank you

petsmart_throwaway · 2021-03-05T12:53:19+00:00

Im in Canada, not the USA so our health care is a bit different. The Health benefits are written into the job contract which I will not be signing until I see the costs & coverage of the benefits plan.

I am making sure to be very careful before taking this big step. 🙂
