Liked the Work - Animal Care Technician Animal Humane Society Employee Review

Great learning experience right out of veterinary school. Helped in learning more about spectrum of care and shelter medicine that I may not have learned in school. Lots of surgery experience. Great mentorship while also having the opportunity to learn and grow as a new doctor. No weekends or on call shifts for interns. Many well-established SOPs/protocols aid in consistency among treatment for animals with commonly seen diseases.

Salary was lower than I would be making at a full-time position elsewhere, but compared to other internships, the salary was very nice!

The people are excellent everyone on the floor is passionate about animal care and it shows, most every one is friendly and the care they provide is top notch both with helping animals that are owned and shelter animals

Burn out, under appreciated/compensated staff, most senior leadership has zero animal welfare experience, the prioritize length of employment over quality and experience of newer staff, call ins the staff members call in often and there are no real repercussions so they continue to do bare minimum for years while in turn burning out the reliable staff members
