Pros
In this job you do spend a lot of time with does - which for a dog person is fantastic! In my experience on most weekdays you were not overwhelmed which was nice because you could pay attention to each dog and it was an enjoyable environment.
Cons
After about a year of working here they fired the manager and promoted someone else to manager. This repeated every. single. summer. for 3 years and with each new manager the level of competency seemed to decline as well. From what I could tell, upper management and ownership stopped caring so much about the dogs and employees and focused only on how much profit they could squeeze our of the customers. When I first started working here there were maybe 15-20 dogs to each human, by the time I left each dog care attendant was responsible for 40 dogs consistently, which is way too many. I also had several ethical objections to the way the business was being run. Each dog is given a 'suite' which is about a 6x4 space with solid walls for them to sleep and eat in. When customers were shown around the premise they were shown these suites and this is where most dogs would spend their nights. However, towards the end of my time here on busy holidays (4th of July, Christmas, etc) dogs would be placed in wire crates - the ones you typically have for your dog for a car ride - and the owners were told they were staying in the normal suites. Golden Retrievers were placed into these crates they could barely fit in and the customers were paying almost $50 a night, never to know their dog was not in a private 'suite'. I hope that management has fixed some of these problems but based on what my friends still working there have told me it is all still much of the same.
