Pros

Free lunch, the people you work with are wonderful, unlimited OT, office dogs

Cons

Majority of leadership is a joke. Representatives pretend to be a supervisor when speaking with angry owners because the leads won't. If you are being harassed or bullied and you tell your manager or lead, they do nothing and tell you to email HR. They will most likely not do a thing about it. One rep was forced to wear a mens tee for a week straight because they thought her clothes were too sexy even though many others dressed the same. They dont care about anything than revenue. Unwilling to fix safety issues for the walkers and dogs that they make their money off of. Don't provide training materials and dogs are often harmed and walkers are bit, some even need serious medical attention which Wag! does not compensate them for. The owners are allowed to keep dangerous dogs on the platform with no consequence. No proof of vaccinations are required. You will make $.75 above minimum wage to calm walkers after being attacked and owners if their dog is injured or worse all day long. The recent positive reviews are either from higher executives or marketing trying to improve our image. They say the same thing and nothing I have ever heard while working in the office from the majority of the workers here.

Pros

The pro of using Wag is that you get a couple dollars to keep your body moving.

Cons

Sometimes it can prove difficult to manage your own time with variabilities on these walks. In an apartment complex? +10 min to find it. Stomach wrapped harness and a nervous dog? +15 min to soothe the dog to they'll let you put it on. Excited dog home-alone without even a collar?? +15 minutes attempting different strategies to get close enough to put on the harness. Owners do not always provide poop bags. The app could be better - there are several alerts and reminders that are needlessly repetitive when you use it regularly. You have to click through the same 5 reminders before every walk to get the access information. I understand it was designed for safety, but it just adds minutes (one at a time) to your day for no reason. There doesn't seem to be any lock-screen widget for the app, so you have to unlock your phone every time you need to log a pee, poo, or check how much time is left on the walk. Wag a big chunk of the earnings. I believe it's about 40%, which is a LOT. An actor's agent only gets 20%.
