Great mission, poor management and burnout issues - Coordinator PAWS Chicago Employee Review

I love the animals and caring for them

I have not been here long enough to comment

The staff, especially the animal caregivers and medical team, were some of the most dedicated people and I know their pay did not match the amount of passion and work they put into their roles.

Working in a shelter is stressful, that is to be expected, but add in minimal to no support from upper management, high and ever changing expectations, AND low pay, you get the high burn out rate that PAWS is always facing. We were always short staffed, myself and other staff were frequently covering more than 2 roles, management is not quick to hire and fill in the gaps.
