Vantaggi
I met some of my closest friends here that made the day-to-day bearable, since many of us came into this job thinking we were working toward the mission statement listed on the website.
Svantaggi
No respect from upper management until it’s too late, which they then pretend that they care about you as an individual. Everything is dictated to you and you have no say or opinion in your own department. They dangle chances of upward mobility in order to keep you as their workhorse, with no follow-through. Worked on an unlivable salary for 3 years because they knew I wouldn’t speak up. They take advantage of your passion for animals and twist your arm into the expectation that you should be working 24/7. As animal lovers, many of us get attached to the ‘harder’ animals whose fate is decided by a group of individuals that spends no time working one on one with the animal, including an ‘expert’ that never meets the animal in person. Founder is outspoken about her distaste for pitbulls and ‘aggressive breeds’.
