Pros

The idea behind the work is great, and very rewarding on most days.

Cons

I just want to preface by saying the job isn't the issue. It's actually really rewarding, and I go home feeling like I did something productive with myself. My issue lies with the management/ "leadership". To start off; They are totally unapproachable. They will not spare you a second glance, and if they do, it's to make sure you know they're absolutely annoyed you had the audacity to ask them a question. None of them have a personality, and refuse to interact with their employees in what i'm assuming is fear that one of us will ask them to help. 1 of the 3 "leaderships" delegates their tasks onto other people, expecting them to finish their work while already having a good amount of things to do. (At least when he actually shows up). The other one is stoic, and has a hard stare no matter who you are. the idea of interacting with them leaves a sour taste of dread in my mouth. They anre unpleasant to work with, has a superiority complex, and gets a power trip out of humiliating employees. At least 1 of the 3 coordinators interacts with us, and jokes around to make work seem fun. however, if you tell them anything personal about yourself, they WILL use it against you if they feel threatened. You have to walk on eggshells and pray you don't make a mistake. You mistakenly added an extra "0", or even misplace a decimal point? Your intelligence gets questioned. They treat you as if you're incapable of basic human function. Another thing to add is the favoritism. They will hinder your ability to learn based on if you kiss their feet or not. They have 1 technician so high on a pedestal, everyone else is forgotten about, despite having more experience. If you want to succeed, you need to treat your coworkers as stepping stones, instead of partners. HR does not care about employees, they only care about the "leadership". Confiding in anyone is fruitless.

Pros

The mission is meaningful, and the work can be fulfilling for someone who cares about animal welfare, storytelling, and community impact. There are opportunities to create important content around animals, staff, adopters, rescue work, and medical care.

Cons

My experience was that feedback, training, and performance expectations were not clear or consistent. I had regular check-ins and received positive feedback on my work, but when my employment ended, I was given broad criticisms that did not align with the feedback I had previously received. I was meeting deadlines, producing content, and trying to stay aligned with expectations. I did not receive a formal warning or clear corrective plan before termination. I was also told the organization had to make a decision rather than spend additional time training, which was difficult to reconcile with the positive feedback I had received in regular check-ins.
