Very Poor Management

Pros

At this particular location. None.

Cons

Management was the main reason I quit. I can't even describe how bad it is there. If something breaks you have to pretty much beg to have it fixed, or go above their heads for something to actually be done about it. It's always the employees fault when something breaks. Management is very demeaning to associates, downright mean, and if they get onto someone they make sure they do it in front of others. It's embarrassing. You can never do anything right. You'll never get praised for the good you do, but you'll hear all about what you're doing wrong.

Thank you for the review. It's so great to hear you are enjoying working with animals and the benefits, but I'm sorry you don't feel supported. Ensuring animals are healthy and happy is our top priority. We'd like to understand your experience more. Please contact the CareSmart line at 1-800-738-4693. Thank you, again.
