Pros
Loved my coworkers. They were treated just as poorly.
Cons
I feel that senior management remains the sole obstacle that prevents Cat Depot from reaching its potential. Capacity for care. I felt this issue was constantly disregarded by senior management. I felt number of cats and perception mattered way more than the actual care of the cats. I felt perception especially matters over bottle babies QOL. I was so overextended with fosters at one point I begged/cried to Senior management that we say no (again, working within our capacity for care). I felt I was met without comprehension or compassion which is typical. Protocols. There are a billion of them and you have to adhere to all of them except when you don’t; but you will never be right when you don’t… or when you do. Confusing? Yes it is. Reviews. Senior management solicits/encourages employees to write positive reviews to drown out the bad and increase overall rating. Training. Non existent for management. I felt I was held at an unattainable standard as there were never clear expectations set or training provided. The most micromanaged I have ever felt in my life. In my experience, bad behavior (including my own) was never addressed by senior management. Redundancy. Redundancy. Redundancy. My time at Cat Depot led me to a point of questioning my sanity. I felt I experienced frequent gaslighting, manipulation, disrespect and blatant lying from upper/Senior management. I feel this is because I did, and will always will, speak up when I feel uneasy about decisions impacting standards for patient care and capacity for care. I felt senior management was so far removed from every aspect of operations, and consistently showed lack of understanding of every single position/department they were responsible for staffing.
