Pros

Meeting pets and making friends, working with animals.

Cons

The way management handles issues is awful, they made my co worker cry over donations and expect a lot out of us while also chastising us for small incidents. They also don’t really care about the animals in their care, I’m from a small store where we only have fish however it’s hard to keep up with the illnesses the fish keep getting, we only have one sick tank & we can’t repair the fish tanks, company says replacing lights is too expensive. Very cliquey, really not the vibe.

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.
