Pros
Beautiful work environment when the weather is good. Dogs are great of course. Helicopter rides.
Cons
Where do I even begin?! Long work days. I'm talking 15-17 hours sometimes. Weather days are not days off, you're on standby all day, there is still a lot of catch up to be done in dog yards because they are severally under staffed. So you're out working your butt off in the cold rain. The staff they do hire are typically incompetent kids that are on summer break from college just here for the "experience" and are more interested in petting puppies and getting wasted than actually doing their jobs. They're motto is "dogs first" but we lacked a lot of things the dogs needed. (Fleece collars for collar rub, crates to keep injured dogs in or dogs with poor eyes in, we were encouraged to not feed chicken fat to dogs that needed it to maintain weight because it was "too expensive". ). Most of my dogs were older and couldn't handle the amount of tours I had to do on a daily basis. Dogs couldn't get a day off even f they needed it unless weather rolled in. I often had to just hope my dogs would pull for me. I love my dogs but they (and myself) we're overworked. Poor LNT.
