Toronto Humane Society Reviews

Management The shelter managers and supervisors act like they are running a prison. The work is hard at times but is very rewarding. I do not believe they take the time to appreciate the work of the animal care workers in the shelter. I remember one instance of the then assistant manager yelling at me because I forgot to clean a cage out. I seriously almost lost my cool. Thick skin and a love for what you are doing sometimes is not enough to get through the day. People end up taking a lot of sick time to get a break from the cruel attitudes of the management staff who believe they are above you.

Corrupt upper management/HR/ CEO/COO Extreme nepotism and politics Unqualified/ incapable and lazy management who take credit for work they have not done, and spend most of their time trying to find ways to legally mistreat those who report to them Culture of fear/ people are afraid to speak up Chronic HR issues - HR is actually a joke, and everyone who works there knows this Bullying/ scare tactics Poor treatment of lowest earning staff Donors are being misled and having their money wasted by upper management
