Pros

It is kept very clean. The facilities and animal care staff do a tremendous job.

Cons

The only thing the management cares about is image. They will refuse to help the public, staff, or even the animals in their care if they think it works against the image they are trying to project. There is a rule for everything, and if the management finds something they forgot to regulate, they will invent some rules that you were supposed to retroactively know about. They don't pay a living wage for the Bay Area.

Pros

Heartwarming success at rescuing and placing adoptable animals, and the nearly no-kill policy allowing as long as it takes to find a forever home for difficult to place animals, usually older cats.

Cons

Hiring inexperienced to the point of unqualified management. Very poor opportunity for advancing from within. Upper management pay on the very high end given the scale of the organization. Split shifts and no benefits for part time, poorly paid animal care staff. Stated company values are not acted on. For example treating animals and other employees with kindness and respect, particularly people below upper management. The standard complaint against this type of organization applies, that they choose the most adoptable animals from public shelters. This calls into question whether the animals, especially the dogs, would have found their forever homes anyway without the organization's help.

Terrible leadership

Pros

Solid mission and dedicated lower level staff and volunteers.

Cons

Horrible leadership. The organization is run by an ED who is a complete narcissist only cares about lining her pockets and hanging out with celebrities. Other staff are paid peanuts. HR is a joke, anyone who goes to HR with a complaint is fired.
