Pros

You get to play with and socialize with the animals at the shelter. You also get to take the dogs out for walks.

Cons

The pay is horrendous. You do not have discretion over who you approve for adoption. You have no power over the safety and security of the animals

Pros

Great place to work, c'on talking about abused animals! There are good people there and talking about the old timers. It grew from 200 people tight to 600 and I don't even know half of them. They only hire good looking people- animal maniac, gays, and vegans.

Cons

High turnover rate within and they hire robotic clueless managers! If they don't like your views on something, they look to get rid of you! Such a bureaucratic management from top down. How can they hire inexperienced managers to take the lead. Some of them don't have animals. Not passionate at all and just a easy pay check. This place turn into PETA. They care for money coming in and don't care about loyal passionate people.
