Rewarding Work, Limited Room for Growth & Disappointing Management - Behavior Specialist Arizona Humane Society Employee Review

Support professional growth and advancement.

No cons at this time.

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.

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.
