Pros

People are great to work with sometimes, first hand taking care of animals

Cons

- You can’t say anything that’s bothering without fearing consequences: just in the past months multiple people either resign or got fired without a cause - Extreme low pay (minimum wage) which is inhumane for the amount of work that’s on your shoulders while supervisors, managers and directors pretend to care by saying: let me know if i can help you- but when you ask for help they are nowhere to be seen. - Supervisors from Animal care are just wondering around between offices while their employees are sweating and working really hard for a joke pay - Upper decisions of what animal gets euthanized based on behavioral concerns is not consistent or not justified in some cases, while there’s an actual animal that qualifies for it and it’s giving “opportunity”- gets “adopted” and then RETURNED to then ending in a euthanized, so just prolonging suffering and setting the animal for failure - They say you can grow in the company but the truth is you will only do that if you are good friends with the hiring manager - You will see some people under qualified having upper positions for sure - I feel sorry for the animal care team, in just this year their employee turnover is awful - admissions team does not have common sense and keeps filling up the shelter under poor management - Did i say low pay?
