Pros

working with the animals Course Training Sick Pay and other benefits

Cons

Micromanaged by people with less experience, it is a company built on apprenticeships and straight out of University or college. They've never encountered any other form of rescue or animal centres, animal based jobs; they lack practical knowledge and do not like experienced workers coming in, leading to a power-driven approach, and they don’t want to take advice from experienced staff. More often, they put you in your place and don’t share ongoing outcomes with the team. hired experience staff and then restrict them instead of using it as a strength and a learning growth. no progression or role change Clicky Close-minded stuff

Pros

Lovely colleagues, great working environment, great benefits, varied and interesting work, no two days are the same ! Colleagues are always very helpful and we all want to help each other. Lovely offices in Horsham and Blackfriars for when we do go into the offices. Great career opportunities, constant Line Manager meetings means you can always voice your concerns if needed (which I thankfully haven't needed to!) constant checking in to see if everything is ok which is very beneficial especially when working from home.

Cons

Sometimes I wish I had more time in the day !
