Happy Camper

There’s money to be made here. However the old town crowd can be rough.  Especially when you and your team are never backed up by management or owners.  You’ll get written up for a negative yelp review but never rewarded for a positive one.  Management is too young and avoids all confrontation with unruly guests or dissatifyied customers leaving employees out to dry more often than not.  Your co workers, however, are one of the best groups ive worked with.  Kind, smart, funny, hard working, and supportive. Its a shame that doesnt translate from the top down

Depending on the day of the week it was not too busy. Mainly alot of food running but not much other than that
Did not learn a whole lot working there. 
Management talks about an open door policy but often would evade the problem unless confronted. Very poor set of managers
Everyone was really fun to work with. Never any drama. 
The hardest part was trying to advance in any positions. Took me a year to finally get into the original position I applied for. 
The most enjoyable part for me was the relationships that I created with the fun and eccentric crew I worked with

One the lab doesn’t take care of how they blast products you could be smoking there hair or maybe there pet hair ! The owners have no clue how to run a Business let alone take care of there employees!! Most the time they aren’t even around to know what is going on ! They let the lab run out of trim so most the time they aren’t really doing anything! The “ manager up front “ all she dose is sit on her phone asking for help from other people .

Great enjoyable place to work, by the end of the day this is the big question "is that dirt or po0p on me." We just know not to lick it. I say this for the people that dont like to get dirty 15 minutes into your shift! Expect 20+ snouts in a group at once. (Personal advice- Be on your toes and watch the groups carefully, no time for distractions.) They give set schedules. Benefits, 401k, PTO after a year. Paid twice a month (not bi-weekly) They do background checks. 

I loved working at the Happy camper. The top management could use some work. I love the products and the other employees were fun to work with.  The will change your hours after you have asked for more and not tell u. Its hard to keep track of all the changes without notice. I'm not working their because of my own mistakes but I wish I was still employed there. 

I learned a lot about dog behavior while working here. I really like the time management and schedule of the job. I was mostly involved in monitoring the play yards. I was involved with feeding and keeping track of dogs belongings. I was also invloved with the wellbeing and communication of the dogs with other staff members and parents.

Owners treat their employees like each one is easily replaceable. Poor communication with management in regards to expectations of daily interactions. Employees should be compensated based on quality of work and work ethic. Instead most make barely over minimum wage. The owners need to get their act together.

Little to no Drama with current bunch of staff. Managers are pretty upfront about things needing to be addressed. Although, if you need something addressed it may take a few talks to certain managers to be something considered adressing. Pay is decent. All in all a decent place to be. 

Happy Camper would’ve been a great place except they could not be consistent on anything. And the owner would remind everyone over and over again that they are all replaceable she has a stack of resumes in the drawer . The employees really make that place.

It was so fun I almost forgot I was working. So easy and coworkers were amazing. Manager could be a little better but he was still new and kind of rude. Tips were great. Hours were fllexible. Truly the best job I’ve ever had. I hope to find another like this one.
