you are NOT their voices as much as they WANT you to think you are.
Pros
you get to work hands on with the animals all day, some of the staff members are really cool, PTO and other benefits are a plus to the expense of your mental health.
Cons
some challenges working there? well for one they barely listen to staff whenever staff (a.c.t’s and/ or match makers to be exact) strongly believes, complain and even write letters/ or messages on for why an animal shouldn’t be euthanized. those who work the MOST hands on with the animals have no say for the animal’s future. theres been countless times of staff leaving work bawling their eyes out due to UNJUSTIFIED reasons for why their favorite dog or cat were put down. half the time the animals were put down were b-s reasons to be quite honest. they make it difficult for you to move on up career wise within the organization. you are disposable to them. and those whom dont feel like they’re treated as disposable, have favoritism from the “higher ups”. you dont hear about A LOT that goes on within the ASPCA because they try their hardest for the media to see only positivity. but sure, its a fun place to work at if you’d give up your sanity to play with puppies and kittens.
