Pros
I don’t work there anymore.
Cons
Unfortunately so much potential for good animal advocacy is lost due to the chronic mismanagement, dysfunction, and sometimes outrageously unacceptable behavior of the president and founder. She manages staff with the mindset of a 13 year old mean girl from the Valley. She’s moody and navigates the organization using, not rational thought, but instead her wildly fluctuating emotional compass. Staff are demoralized and always walking on eggshells trying to predict her mood and not do or say anything to upset her. She spends very little time in the office working or paying attention to what is going on which leads to poor communication, misunderstandings, and unrealistic expectations. She tends to hire friends and plays favorites but then eventually everyone takes a turn in the hot seat, where she may fly off the handle screaming or demeaning a staff member (often in front of other staff), at what is often a minor mistake that could be easily corrected. Good staff are suddenly fired or quit after they just can’t take it anymore, creating constant turnover and instability in the org.
