Pluspunten
The team I am in, at least, is incredibly supportive and helpful. My boss and colleagues always reach out to check in and offer guidance. Fulfilling - it's good to know the work you're doing is helping animals! Good vacation time - 4 weeks available after 3 months in Manager role. Tons of resources, lots of ways to learn.
Minpunten
Takes more 'after hours' work than I anticipated, sometimes late night phone calls with vets or for emergencies - this might be me underestimating rather than an issue with the role. Hard to navigate union employees with delayed bargaining Feels like low compensation for the amount of work being done. Training is a bit sporadic - they put aside time in the beginning to train but then it's hard to find time once you're onboarded since there is so much to do. I feel like I don't know key things because can't find the time to train further. Encourage work life balance but this is hard to actually strike with the work. After hours events sometimes, always on call.
