      Pros

      You get great experience working with dogs, daycare is adorable. HUGE HOSPITAL. Wonderful beginning experience for dedicated learners.

      Cons

      They rush you into action with little to no training due to the unprofessionalism of upper management. They expect you to teach yourself outside of work with no resource material provided. The director says one thing, your managers say another, and at the end of the day you get called insubordinate and lazy for things beyond your control. If they don’t say it to your face, they’ll wait until you turn around. There is a disconnect between management, reception, and kennel staff. I’ve never seen a group of adults who call themselves professionals conduct themselves in such a childish and obscene manner.
