Hi all! So I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Currently work at a private shop, and when I last went to the vet for a checkup on my they asked if I knew anyone looking for a full time grooming job. My 1st thoughts were that it would be nice to work closer to home, so I applied. Been going back and forth with the pros and cons of each place, and I'm looking for insight or anything I may be overlooking, because it's a big decision!

~Vet 60% commission
Pros-
Close to home
Only groomer/"my" clientele and space

Setting own schedule
Cons-
Lower prices
Not as busy
Bathe own dogs
Difficult dogs (ones recommended for tranquilizers)
Outdated grooming table/smaller tub

I think the thing that has made me really think it over is going from working with others to myself, which would be nice. Any thoughts welcome! Thank you!!
