Pros

Good company that cares about their products and the welfare of the animals.

Cons

I was mentally abused by the management at this office. I went to HR and nothing happened. I was forced to do menial tasks, sign a paper saying I was on probation, was told not to make friends, was threatened that I would never be promoted, I could go on and on. If you try to transfer departments, the management will target you and never promote you to a higher role I went to the HR department and nothing was done. I was forced to quit after having anxiety attacks nearly daily at the thought I would have to go back to work.

Pros

The people you work with under the leadership level are great and truly try their best every day to do the best job they possibly can.

Cons

Everyone is severely underpaid for the amount of work they’re expected to do. People will quit/be fired/laid off and no additional help is provided. Those who remain are expected to pick up all of the slack. Leadership is variable on the day-to-day but you never truly feel supported or like your problems are taken seriously enough to resolve. Individuals are actively urged not to present counter job offers as a way to negotiate higher pay or a different position because “the site head doesn’t like it”.
