Gave Up On Shelters to Try to Be Like HSUS

Anonymous employee

Pros

Used to help shelters nationwide in all aspects. Invested in communities. Good pay. Good benefits. Disaster team was great.

Cons

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.

It’s about mental health

Pros

Good salary and benefits compared to similar jobs

Cons

Emotional abusive work environment. They encourage you to advocate and help animals and then act as if your crazy or discipline you when you speak up for animals being unjustly treated or euthanized. Your manager doesn’t know how to do the job they’re managing nor do they care to learn. So expectations are ridiculous and unfair to the animals and people. They will take a dog with behavior issues, keep them in the shelter for a month and then Wonder why their behavior is getting worse (even though the ASPCA says more than 2 weeks will degrade behavior in dogs because it’s not natural). Employee turn over is ridiculous so every team regardless of position is overworked. Raises are minimal(0-3%) and very little opportunity to move up, so no benefit of being a long time employee. you’ll end up attempting to train your managers and all other team members on the work you do and only being paid .50 cents more than the newest member on your team even though your working there for 3+ years. They literally have recommended a therapist to employees who have talked back, so consider that a requirement for employment. I want to be clear, this is coming from someone who left on good terms.

Pros

Good benefits, well funded organization.

Cons

Unmotivated and unqualified directors and managers who don’t know what they’re doing, constantly short staffed, biased practices towards employees, bad behavior is rewarded and allowed to continue, HIGH TURNOVER says it all.
