Fun workplace
Dog Trainer (Former Employee), Salinas, CA – May 2, 2013
Pros: leanred how to train dogs
I enjoyed this job because i love animals and care alot for them. This job was a great experience and learned how to train dogs, my co-workers were awesome. Hardest part of the job is when you first get the dog your going to train they don't listen so its a little frustrating but it's all worth it at the end of the day

SPCA was a unique environment to be part of
Veterinarian Technician (Former Employee), McKinney, TX – February 5, 2013
Every day was different, you learned something new with every animal you inquired about. Management and the co-workers were the best you could ask for. You actually felt like a huge family. The hardest part was coming across badly treated abused animals during a rescue but the best part was placing them in someone elses care that gave them a better – more... life than where they came from. The most enjoyable part of my job was being able to care for the animals that were no longer wanted by their owners and finding new homes that would welcome them for who they were. – less

Warm and Inviting Place
Volunteer (Former Employee), Georgetown, Delaware – December 3, 2012
I loved volunteering at the SPCA. Everyone was friendly and I learned so much just by being there. I was one of the cat caretakers there. I socialized with them, cleaned their cages, fed them, and played with them. The hardest part of it had to be picking which one you wanted to work with first. Everything was just amazing. I really enjoyed working – more... with the kittens and watching how fast they grew. – less

revolving door
animal staff (Former Employee), SPCA Inc Lakeland FL – August 29, 2012
Pros: the animals and some coworkers
Cons: the higher ups/administrators
disappointed. Looked great in the interview (hospital, future plans) but they hire and fire willynilli. Lots of nice staff let go or conditions made so nasty that they left. they loose good techs and vets all the time: every 7-8 months they put up an ad looking for staff - that says it all! Working with the animals are nice but dont plan on staying – more... too long – less

A motivated environment to be apart, & great people working there who really care for animals.
HELPER (Former Employee), Greater Sudbury, ON – March 4, 2013
Pros: able to take animals out of there cage with trust.
Cons: animals with fleas, & pickin up fieces.
I would go there once a week with my class for a year, we would walk the dogs, take the cats out & play with them, as well as the rabbits hamsters. We would clean cages, brushes & dish bowls. It was always a good time when we got there, hardest part of the job was picking up the dogs fieces, & the greatest part of the job was spended time 1 on 1 with – more... an animal. – less
