Not much to gain

Pros

-Gain more hands-on experience with pet behavior and some medicine/technology and food sciences/research. -General area of the facilities is nice and secluded. -Work with animals every day. -Maternity/Paternity leave. -Ability to job shadow other areas and departments. -Accrue vacation days after being with the company for 5 years. -Can rollover 40 hours of vacation into the following year. -Some of the people you work with become great friends. -You have the immediate option to adopt a pet once it's placed on the re-homing list. -Good 401k and benefits.

Cons

-Very poor management. -Opinions do not matter. -Voices are not heard. -Communication is non-existent. -Very uncomfortable/non-ideal working conditions. -Mentally exhausting. -Extremely stressful at times. -No work-life balance. -Must work holidays and management does not shorten the work day on holidays. -With rotating schedules, it means for 3-4 years in a row some caretakers will be working 7-8 major holidays each year. -Line management does not listen to you nor help you with your problems in the workplace. They do not care. -Numbers being met are more important to management than well-being. -They definitely play favorites. -Yearly bonuses are not good. -Always a hiring freeze or budget freeze. -No transparency at all. -No room for growth, which then turns into a dead-end job.
