Love working here, we are very focused on having huge impact to stop killing of cats. For such a small team, we have had tremendous across the country in saving cats and changing laws. I am so proud of our work and my team members. I now think of them as some of my best friends. I love the dedication and passion of the executive team. They work late nights and almost every weekend.
Cons

Pros
Great benefits, passionate about mission, flexibility, get to be involved in high level strategic discussions that at all of my other jobs I didn't get to be part of, great staff and great leadership. Becky, Charlene and Rebekah provide good strategic decisions and they care about the employees. I have learned a lot from them and appreciate their dedication and genuine concern for animals. If you don't work hard and don't care about the mission, you wont do well here. They don't put up with slackers.
Cons
I have a long commute so I wished I lived closer to the office.
