Pros

I've been at Woofur for quite some time and honestly have really enjoyed my experience here. It's one of the best jobs I've had where I've met amazing people on the team, love all the dogs I've worked with, and enjoyed interacting with some genuine customers. The leadership team is quite flexible to work with and was able to work around their schedules to give me time off whenever requested. They've also provided a lot of guidance to help me navigate through various situations so I know how to deal with certain dogs.

Cons

Working with dogs can be quite stressful, even though all my friends and family think I pet dogs all day. LOL. You will need to know how to navigate through different situations to manage play groups. This job is not for the faint of heart or those with mental issues because you will need a strong mental mind and physical body to be able to handle various dog behaviour.

Pros

Extremely patient and understanding management. Supportive team environment that encourages growth and learning. Kind and compassionate leadership that values employees. One of the best places I've ever worked; it genuinely feels like a family. Great opportunity to work with animals in a positive and nurturing atmosphere.

Cons

There can be busy days that are a bit hectic, but the support from the team makes it manageable and enjoyable.

Pros

Some days of free dog care while you're working. That's about it.

Cons

Employees are pitted against one another, owner is cruel and manipulative to staff and often entices drama. Time off is discouraged and even in the case of emergencies (i.e. family sick, deaths, etc) is frowned upon. New hires are brought in with zero pet experience, which is okay, if they have the basic skills to perform the job - however many new hires end up putting the pets and others at risk due to their lack of smarts, to put it bluntly. Wages should be higher for what the job entails. You will get bit, because they allow semi-aggressive dogs in daycare- and will lie about it outright. The numerous dog attacks witnessed could've easily been avoided had proper, honest vetting been done. Legal ratios for dogs to daycare personnel are regularly ignored. Employees are 95% female only, yet expected to walk 5 dogs at a time even in icy winter conditions. ETC
