Pros

AHS is a great organization to work for. Even though we are spread across multiple locations, we will go out of our way to help another location or department because it will benefit our overall cause. Every time I come to work I'm greeted with smiles. It truly feels we are a family here and support each other both in and out of work.

Cons

We are constantly growing and changing. With that, comes a learning curve. It can feel at times we throw projects together without thinking things through or having done all the necessary prep work (i.e. hiring staff support or putting together materials for the public). It can also feel like there are too many cooks in the kitchen and too many departments trying to put in their input on projects.

Pros

Meaningful work you can feel good about at the end of a long hard day. The sort of work you can be proud to tell your friends and families about. Whether your cleaning kennels or feeding new born kittens; promoting adoptions of senior animals or training away bad behavior and fearfulness, there will be a fitting opportunity for you with the Arizona Humane Society.

Cons

Passion fatigue they call it. Depending on your eventual position, you'll see things as an animal lover that will make you angry, hurt and possibly cry. You may see as much sadness as you do happiness. The Sunny Slope facility does have a trauma center that works tirelessly to benefit the lives of the sick and injured. This and another location within the facility are places where you'll hear difficult stories and see their results. With that being said, you begin to understand that, you are so happy to know they are here rather than where they came from while also knowing there is a better future from there on out.

Pros

I've worked at AHS for about two and a half years and the changes I have seen occur throughout the company since I've started have been amazing. Everyone here truly does care about the animals and will do everything possible to save every life. Compared to companies I have worked for in the past, AHS is by far my favorite when comparing the way employees are treated. I feel as though my opinion truly matters and am always treated with respect. Also, this is the first job I have every had with benefits, PTO, and major holidays off.

Cons

Not so much about the company, but about some of the things you may experience. You will see a lot of pets who are sick,injured and abused and who come from horrible living conditions and it will affect you emotionally. But, that's part of the territory when working for any animal rescue and is why we do what we do.
