Pros

Some kind people, Then you have some people who were just not understanding or caring. It was a nice experience to have this job for a while, some were helpful, but a lot of unnecessary stress due to drama or judgement by some. i loved working here, with the animals and people you get to meet. i tried my best to meet their expectations.

Cons

The only problem i had was when i was in the hospital for probably a week, i was in and out of the ER some days, and my manager knew that or my other co workers, but i was pushed to come in even though i had surgery, they didn’t show compassion or care that i was in a lot of pain, or admitted in the hospital..they just wanted me to work regardless..

Pros

The staff care a lot and try their hardest but it leads to burn out and being taken advantage of by a company the does not care about YOU.

Cons

Poor management. No work life balance. Bad scheduling. Bad pay. No communication. Leads expected to work more than 10 hours a day during high volume periods, Be responsible for too many things. You run around like a chicken with it's head chopped off the whole time you're at work. Staff are snippy, and rude. A few are okay. Company has you working bare bones, and does not care. Pet parent's are weird, and I don't think have realistic expectations that the boarding facility is more like dropping your dog off at a dog shelter for a week while you go on vacation than a "fun time" for your dog. Dogs get fed, watered, pottied. If that is all you care about, then use the PetHotel. If you want your dog to have fun, and be out of a stressful environment (few dogs do well with constant barking and noise all day, plus being stuck in a cement run, thrown in with a bunch of other dogs who have never been properly socialized) just do in home boarding. I would never board my dog at a place like this.
