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 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
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.
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.
