ASPCA reviews

-Benefits - there's some good and some bad. Pay increases incredibly slowly. With this past year's inflation of 7%, the annual raises were around ~3% for most staff at our location. When you consider the base pay, this is small incremental growth, and when you consider inflation, you start losing money over time. I said pay is good for vet assistants, but vet assistants are typically paid very little in other businesses. Compared to positions outside the vet field, the pay is not really competitive for the amount of work/energy required for it. There's a good bit of time off available, but often when I used time off I was reminded that "the A does not do unpaid time off" as something to keep in mind if I ever used up all my time off. I was never told what would happen if I did use all my time off and needed unpaid time off. -Employee morale was low and we were very unstaffed when I was here. -Work is very physically demanding.

Let go of talented and older employees in "reorganizing" schemes. Bully bosses who shouldn't have been in those positions in the first place because they don't have good people skills. Mean girl club. Absolutely insulting and disrespectful to employees who pioneered change in animal welfare. Stopped helping shelters. Duplicating efforts in the field by pursuing more legislative work--like HSUS already does.
