Pros
- Working with sick/injured animals. - Allows time to hangout animals. - Nonprofit/Community resource aid. - Company truly cares of wellbeing of animals. - Career growth opportunities. - Consistent schedule.
Cons
- Biggest issue is management: --- High turnover rate in position. --- Extreme micromangement. -- - Little/No trust (spying through security cams). --- Actively discourages teamwork with other departments (EX: Adoptions), creating uncomfortable interdepartmental relations and will scold you if trying to have a proper rapport with fellow staff who you work closely on a daily basis. --- Take on tedious tasks of other departments without proper compensation. - Constantly dealing with incredibly difficult customers daily that turn hostile. - Discourages employees to speak to each other regarding wages since only pay ~13 - 15/hr and doesn't list wages on website. --- Company overall cares more about donor funds/relations (and new building) than the wellbeing of actual staff who does day to day labor. --- Rampant employee burnout w/low morale.
