Pros

Pay is okay for the area, but if you have debt don’t expect to dig yourself out without a second job. Working with animals is a good job anywhere and culture within team is good.

Cons

Upper management makes a lot of poor decisions that affect employee morale, lots of turnover so expect to be shorthanded often.
