Pros

-The animals (obviously) -Many different departments, so there are options for people with maybe more specialized interests

Cons

-Low pay and mediocre benefits -The union takes out $50 a month to do absolutely nothing for its members ("forced" overtime, all time accrued is considered PTO. there is no separation of sick time versus paid time off. So the hours you get for calling out sick are coming from the same hours you use to plan a future vacation. Ridiculous) -NO ROOM FOR GROWTH. This company is notorious for hiring externally for higher up positions and promotions. If you come in as an animal care staff member, your chances of becoming anything beyond that are honestly slim to none. -Management is terrible -Majority of the staff is jaded, burnt out and unprofessional (constant callouts, high turnover of employees)

Pros

You are working for an organization that helps animals, benefits are really good. Seriously, really good benefits. If you work at 8th Ave or Community Medicine, people seem happy.

Cons

MANAGEMENT, the management is terrible. Inexperienced, incompetent, and do not try to make people happy and don't seem to really care about the animals, only care about numbers. Pay could be better. Honestly, I would have rather made more money than have great benefits. No room for growth. Also notice that I said 'helps' animals above and not 'saves' animals. This is not a no-kill shelter, they euthanize animals... Immature employees (understandable for entry level positions) and immature managers (not understandable because management should not be entry level. 20 year olds or people with GEDs who have 'retail management' experience should not manage a LARGE shelter environment.) . The environment is just toxic. HR (or, the people team, as they now call themselves, eyeroll) isn't helpful. They listen, but don't do. If you work anywhere but 8th Ave or Community Medicine, you will be miserable.
