Interacting with pets and with appreciative clients that see the value in our work.
Assisting in the implementation of new procedures and hearing the voices of the employees that are implementing them.
Our center's manager is open minded and willing to listen to staff concerns. This allows our procedures to be adjusted if we are struggling in one aspect or another. I feel heard and that my judgement has value.
I have spent a majority of my time here feeling underpaid until my most recent raise. It has taken almost 4 years to get to that point. The level of responsibility and physical labor required to do the job properly isn't considered in the pay wage.
Employee burnout is very common. It feels like a domino effect when one or two coworkers are burnt out. This leads to lower stress tolerance, low morale, and overall high turnover. I always feel that I get burnt out the fastest when other coworkers are burnt out and I need to pick up their slack.
