Employees at RSPCA WA appreciate working with animals and find it rewarding to help animals in need. They note a supportive team environment with great colleagues who are passionate about animal welfare. The organisation has a great focus on work/life balance and initiatives around mental health, and employees find the work meaningful.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as issues with management, including a lack of direction, support for staff and volunteers, and difficulty recognising compassion fatigue. Employees may also have to deal with difficult and confronting situations involving abused or neglected animals. As a charity, RSPCA WA faces limited resources and staffing, which can be challenging. There have also been some concerns raised about poor communication and follow-up within the organisation.
