Compassion for animals AND humans! - werkgeversreview Foster Coordinator bij Seattle Humane

important work, great staff, high-quality facilities

long days, physically demanding, work gets repetitive

The mission is deeply meaningful and the reason I wake up every morning. As an animal lover, helping save dogs and cats provides a strong sense of purpose.

-Workplace culture is very cliquey, it feels more like a high school than a professional working enviornment. There's a noticeable in-group/out-group dynamic that leads to unnecessary tension and awkwardness. -Staff turnover is high across all departments. This makes it hard to feel like part of a cohesive team, and results in the loss of historical knowledge and processes. -There is a pervasive aura of negativity. It's not uncommon to hear other staff and volunteers complain about leadership decisions, workload, and more in shared spaces or even in front of the public. -Communication between departments is terrible, leading to confusion, inefficiencies, and frustration. Gathering information from other departments is like pulling teeth in slow motion.
