Pros

worked with animals and the pay was good

Cons

Many employees are burnt out, over worked, and the managers don't see it. The company is not going to survive with the current management and structure which is sad because it was a great place to work about 7 years ago.

Pros

This place truly cares and is the best place to grow as a person. If you were like me and got excited to apply for a position but saw these awful reviews, take a hard look at my review. Everyone is willing to help no matter how busy they are. Every day is a fantastic opportunity to learn something new and no one is stopping you besides yourself. Bear in mind, I worked in the business section, so my opinion of how things were moving on the hospital floor are limited. But I will truly miss working in this hospital. The pay was great too and my boss/co-workers all did their best to help me succeed. I do not work here anymore because of my own shortcomings and everyone in this company did their best to help me succeed.

Cons

There are some interesting risks being taken but that is part of the equation for true growth. Employee meetings were a waste of time in my opinion and there is an odd vibe sometimes around lunches. However, I never had many cons because if I ever thought something was wrong I would go tell someone about it until I could fix it.

Pros

DoveLewis has a great history and reputation as a nonprofit. The medical staff truly are top-notch, talented and dedicated. The standard of care animals receive is amazing. The community programs and events DoveLewis puts together are well organized and supported. The organization attracts good people and in my time there I made plenty of great connections.

Cons

The turnover is horrendous. There no other way to put it. I was there less than a year and saw more people leave DoveLewis than at my previous employer where I worked for over three years! There is constant restructuring in the business and programs side of the building, firings are common, and good people quit... often. It felt very abnormal but I loved my job and therefore ignored the warning signs. There are a lot of cliques and frankly unprofessional relationships involving management and their favored staff members. It was a big turn-off. In contrast to my previous job (before DoveLewis) there were hardly any all-staff or even half-staff meetings (I do recognize the hospital environment makes it hard to pull this together) and there was never an anonymous employee survey sent out by HR. The kicker is that I was let go with zero warning. Totally blindsided. This sort of behavior goes against everything management professes to stand for.
