Pros

4 Paws for Ability is a life changing organization. It provides service dogs for children and veterans with disabilities.

Cons

The CEO Karen Shirk is a nightmare to deal with. She berates people with out cause or justification. The administration is incompetent and makes awkward changes to departments they know nothing about.

Pros

Working with dogs, being outside

Cons

Pretty much nothing. Poor leadership to say the very least, bullying/harassing behavior from leadership (following people into the bathroom to accost them is NOT OK) clear retaliation whenever you even disagree in the slightest. Very low wage, 13/hour for the position that is crucial to the training process. Strict clock-in policies, over 5 minutes? That's a point. You can and will be fired for tardiness, it doesn't matter how dedicated you are. Dogs are very immature and not ready to be placed, but they don't care about that. They just want to place dogs ASAP, ready or not. Benefits are extremely poor, and PTO/Sick time are combined to less than 10 days off.
