Pros

Managers were flexible with scheduling, able to move up ranks quickly

Cons

Building was falling apart and coorporate/management did not seem to care. Kennel doors were literally rusting off. I was a full time employee brought in in September and by January I was maybe getting 8 hours a week "because it was slower season" but was given no comuncation beyond that as to why I went from 40 to 8 hours in a matter of a week. At the same time they were hiring and training new staff members for when it would pick back up in the spring but cut current employees hours to give them to new hires. Manager also would barely ever be in building even when we were short staffed and saying there were multiple call outs, also would not assist with "caution" animals and left those to the kennel attendants. I worked for the facility before being owned by Destination Pet and the change in ownership was also not made clear to the patrons who expected the same quality care. Dog Daycare was a joke, dogs were kept in a converted 3 car garage for 8 hours with no outdoor time or at minimum fake grass. Daycare staff would be 1 employee to 25+ dogs which is incredibly unsafe. Complete lack of organization, patrons belongings would go missing constantly.
