The job is hard, but rewarding. Staff aren't as appreciated as they should be. - Anonymous employee Washington Humane Society Employee Review

Pros

The work is very rewarding and you get a lot of great experience working in a fast-paced environment. The animals are great, and when the team works well together, the work environment is really a great place.

Cons

The facility is not equipped to safely perform surgery on the number of animals we received on a daily basis. The equipment was outdated - some of it didn't even work. When this was brought to management, nothing really happened to change it. We were also really understaffed, which led to safety concerns for the animals - there weren't enough techs to monitor the animals we had.

Pros

Working for a cause is great, and you feel a sense of pride when things go well. The staff are some of the most dedicated and passionate people you will ever work next to.

Cons

- Horrible management -- lack of diversity and transparency - Disengaged CEO more concerned with herself and her pet projects than the well-being of her employees. ex: facilities with mold, leaking pipes, pest infestations which were left untreated - No opportunities for growth - No mentorship - Reactionary vs proactive - CEO is very proud of the fact that there is no work-life balance (frequently discusses this in senior staff meetings), including for the employees who get paid peanuts - Pay is laughable
