Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are nice to my face for the most part. When I first started I felt as though shifts were running smoothly and everything seemed more organized. Counselors and front of house have left which and morale/attitudes drastically changed
They handle the work to the best of there ability
They work really hard to help
My manager is the absolute best. Shes very passionate, Taz is the best person, I've ever has the honor to work under. However she keeps getting undermind everytime one of our coworkers get a chance to. She a really great person and i hope someone will take our camp from our owner, she needs support.
I like most everything at the company
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Training the staff!! Try and give new staff a more diverse experience, follow around multiple people, play in all the different sizes, tell them when to use what techniques to get a dog to stop what theyre doing. Train them in holding dogs back from gate!!!
Appreciating their team, and actually promoting from within the company and giving raises
Being less toxic, not feeding into drama and gossip.
Connecting with employees! Appreciate your teams
There is nobody to hold the managers accountable for their actions and disregard for human and dog safety. They blame lower staff for all their problems and take no responsibility for their faults.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
I work part time so I dont use any
I don't know how to answer
none of us have any benefits or compensation package.
I get a discount on vet visits
Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
They withheld my pay when i became a supervisor only giving me a .25¢ raise in 5 years i made $15 for the first 2y and $15.25 for the rest and only about 3ish months ago did they finally give me my raise where i made $16/hr with no benifits never told me about benifits when hired at all

If I was paid better and treated better
I'm sure everyone including my manager isn't paid nearly enough but I can only speak to my experience. It is extremely hard work for not even enough money to cover bills. I only accepted it because I genuinely love the dogs. Because of this it is mostly high schoolers working at my facility.
I do feel undervalued, for every position learned at camp should be a 50 to 75 cent raise.
Better management and higher oay
What are some of the best things about your team?
The best thing about my team is that they're all very kind even though they get better treatment than me. I will still always treat them with the same kindness. They have treated me.
Friendly, for the most part kind and unproblematic.
My team is so hard working and they truly care about wach individual dog. Truly the greatest asset is the team behind me
Review from Sales Dept
They usually show up to work
Funny, interactive, xcited about work, friendly, caring, etc
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Fair treatment one of the three managers they have is to scared to speak up at all cuz they dont wanna lose their job even tho they have equal positions cuz theyll just make up a bunch of stuff to tell the ceo and get you in trouble cant even talk to the ceo cuz it might be coursed against you

Telling eachother if something went wrong, and how to fix it. But often we dont have time to show eachother things, its understandable.
There is a severe lack of communication throughout the building. The whole reason I left, could've been avoided if counselors had proper communication of what dogs should be in what yards to begin with to avoid conflicts.
Lack of communication, favoritism, cleaniness standards, staffing, time management. Also pushed to keep aggressive dogs in camp on a few occasions because pet parents paid. I would have felt better if these things were improved upon
They should leave this job. They're all smart and great people wasting their time.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The job its self is very fun at times and being with animals is very relaxing when your not being screamed at.
None. Honestly. Maybe 1 or two coworkers treat me ok. The rest were awful and snarky.
Working with the dogs is really an amazing experience. It it awesome to be able to make them happy all day even if it can be tiring. Building bonds, trust, and happiness with the dogs is by far the most positive part of the job.
Nothing. Almost nothing is positive.
My coworkers, if i get a moment to actually talk with them
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Fair treatment of staff and not having an over inflated ego because you have a higher position. They will lie to the ceo then turn around and say "the ceo is a dumb bitch that doesnt care about her dogs and is the worst to work for" word for word actually heard a manger say this

New management that loves dogs more than money
caring a little bit more
The owner, the employees the current facilities
Management needs to stop treating people below them like children, as some of them are even more qualified than them, and they need to hear out the concerns. I also think the owner needs to stop being so greedy and think of the safety of the dogs and their employees
What did you like most about the interview process?
Well, Im not sure how enjoyable an interview can be but it wasnt AWFUL.
There wasnt really and interview i was just asked if i liked dogs
The manager I talked to was very nice and kind to me and they were straightforward and they told me I'm most likely gonna get the job and I got the job.
Quick communication to get you working asap.
It was more casual but they were acting like they were doing me a favor by allowing my piercings when they allowed them all along. Lame.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Fair treatment of staff and dogs

Find out a little bit about potential hires. The only question I was asked was how I would break up a dog fight. Of course I was also hired due to years of experience in dog daycare and veterinary medicine.
Nothing it wasn’t hard
Review from Operations Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Seeing dogs get excited to see me, especially the nervous ones.
The dogs and being able to spend time with them
Being able to have a clean and up to date facility for the large numbers of dogs we recieve.
Review from Sales Dept
Getting to interact with the dogs and if I work with my two friends
Seeing the doggies that i love and care about so much.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Everything is going wrong and it cant be improved until management changes
They care about money most, and how people look at them. No care for dogs or staff
Corprate needs to come and talk with employees(not the favorites!)
i've heard, he said what's wrong
The owners need to be retrained. They are terrible to the employees and talk down about our clients calling some of them crazy.
