Pros

If you are an animal person this is a dream job. It is really a company you can ethically and morally support. Additionally, the founders still put in a ton of work and it's nice to be able to work side-by-side with them at times.

Cons

There are a few cons to working here. The two main ones are that it is a pretty far drive from the city and that the pay isn't that great (isn't it that way with every dream job?). If you aren't an outdoor person, then that's probably another con because most of the work is outdoors and sometimes in harsh weather conditions. You also need to be prepared to work hard.

Pros

It is great working with the cats/dogs every day and really seeing the difference it makes.

Cons

-Non-profit, therefor there are always funding considerations and when you have employees to pay sometimes that causes issues. There have been a few times my paycheck has been late. -Management didn't trust each other and there was a lot of tension -Some of the stories the animals come in with, ridiculous reasons people surrender, etc, can be a little taxing -Working conditions aren't the best. There were a lot of things that needed to be fixed, or things that we needed in general to make our jobs easier. Summertime was difficult to work in the cat area- it was very hot.
