Pros

Amazing work for the animals and opportunities to get creative with new programs.

Cons

Toxic upper management. All of the company's effort is put towards customer experience with complete disregard for the exhausted and overworked staff. The company continues to demand new programs and push the already overworked staff beyond the breaking point. The level of care provided to the animals is suffering and communications between departments and ranks is non-existent. The staff has no idea what the organization is doing or where it is going. Management threatens your job if you cannot keep up with the demands, which have quadrupled in the past year. Staff and middle management crying in the halls, offices, and parking lot is common-place. New policies and programs are demanded by the executive team with no notice or explanation. Poor decisions are being made, especially regarding medical policy.

Pros

The mission is meaningful, and the work can be fulfilling for someone who cares about animal welfare, storytelling, and community impact. There are opportunities to create important content around animals, staff, adopters, rescue work, and medical care.

Cons

My experience was that feedback, training, and performance expectations were not clear or consistent. I had regular check-ins and received positive feedback on my work, but when my employment ended, I was given broad criticisms that did not align with the feedback I had previously received. I was meeting deadlines, producing content, and trying to stay aligned with expectations. I did not receive a formal warning or clear corrective plan before termination. I was also told the organization had to make a decision rather than spend additional time training, which was difficult to reconcile with the positive feedback I had received in regular check-ins.
