Employees may occasionally trade shifts with coworkers when approved and when business needs allow, but reliability and consistency are essential.

Growth Opportunities

This position is intended to be a foundational role lasting approximately 6–12 months. Employees who consistently demonstrate outstanding work ethic, professionalism, initiative, and performance may be offered additional education, mentorship, and opportunities for advancement within Rocket Dog Academy.
