Avantages

As a true animal advocate any time you get to make a difference in any animals life it’s the most genuinely rewarding feeling and the best part of my time working at the ASPCA animal hospital.

Inconvénients

Terrible work culture. Unnecessary use of muzzles on animals. Staff is supposed to be fear free certified but they prioritize staff safety before animal empathy and temperament assessment. Work gets pushed on newer staff, while other staff spends more time gossiping with each other and drawing in the medical exam table like middle school students rather than actually working. Isolation is a walk-in disaster. A place where a parvo dog is mixed in with dogs with kennel cough. The hospital turn over rate is so bad that the hospital is consistently short staffed. The overnight team is disregarded even though they have had some of the hardest working shift members I saw during my time working there. New staff is not properly trained by some staff members. And are not openly welcomed into the team. Higher up management spends their weekends hanging out with other staff members and biases can be seen clearly on the job. Their floor managers spend more time in their offices than on the floor. Their morning schedule is not parallel to their midday/afternoon schedule. And they wonder why keeping a team member on that schedule has been so unsuccessful. Some of their LVTS are incredible but unfortunately there are others who lack skills and empathy.

Volunteers, assisting communities, animal care, fostering cohesive memorable relationships are all a cornerstone of a meaningful mission.

Inconvénients

Where to begin? The word toxic is often thrown around when one leaves a job that was less than thrilling. In my 30 year career in animal welfare this was one I could truly call toxic. The insult to injury is they scream at the top of their lings words like “family, DEI, work/life balance, equality, place of love etc.” This is all the extremely hyperbolic behavior of a predator dynamic. Politicking, back stabbing and manipulation the likes of which would make characters from Game of Thrones blush. Lies and deceit tend to take priority for promotion or advancement. Be extremely cautious of those who come to you as friends. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing. This is a culture that is top down in it’s approach of this type of behavior. I watched so many good colleagues get fired under the guise of bad behavior when there were ulterior motives working against many the entire time. I was glad to finally find a launch pad to another means of income and a career move to get away. Having been gone for a few years now it truly dawned on me just how truly awful things were. Which is such a shame because the actual work being performed is an absolute gift. Animal welfare and bullying is synonymous and I’m glad we’re finally seeing an influx of stories detailing how bad it can be. But this was the worst of all of them and second place is a very distant second. Such a shame.
