If you plan on working for Diggin Inn, I highly recommend against it. Now that I'm gone I can voice my opinion over these matters...
*The pay sucks, your raises come in small doses and delayed. You have to bug the owner just to get a reminder for it.
*No paid vacation
*No Holiday Breaks
*No breaks in General. You're out in daycare and then when it's time to put up, you get right to work on Kennel duties. The only people who get breaks are smokers, and that's 5 minutes.
*Management sucks.
This is coming from an Ex- Employee... I've worked at this place, for more years than I care to admit. The place is pretty great for Dogs to board and play, I even will admit they've always done a good job at putting the pet's first. HOWEVER... with that being said... they treat employees is utter shit. We never got overtime pay, never got "breaks"... were forced to work Holidays and were always under-staffed.
The Management is horrible and has gone down hill over time, I can name several incidents that can be called into question about the possible ethics at working with such a company.
I'm thankful to have finally left and move on, and it saddens me to hear the struggles my co-workers are going through. There is always someone being singled out, someone that the blame for everything gets put on, to be alienated by co-workers until you feel so miserable to the point it's time to quit. I''m sure this is normal for other jobs among co-workers.... but the fact that a Head Manager is just as guilty? They don't even listen to your reasoning on why you have to miss a day of work or if you have to leave early! Diggin Inn is under staffed as it is, but if they keep bullying they're employees, they're going to be left with nothing. I'm just waiting for it to finally crumble apart.
The owner is probably un-aware of everything... or just chooses to not step in.
This company is a ticking time bomb if the Management doesn't change and the employees continue to be under-appreciated and treated like nothing. You want the company to bloom? Your employees help run that core! read more
