    I have a few friends working for Paws (one is a team leader and is being promoted to manager soon). Both of them have the same opinion on the job - some days it's rubbish and you make a tenner, but every few days it's great and you make about a hundred. I'm working full time (not on commission) and they both make about 3 times what I make. If you're confident, funny, friendly and talkative, you really can make a fair bit of money in Paws.

    Steer well clear if you care about animals!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,010 ✭✭✭marley123


    The animals get approx 20 cent out of every purchase - not going to go into detail on it here but google it ( Paws Chuggers ) They are making life very difficult for independent rescues who rely on public donations to be able to rescue the animals they do!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,451 ✭✭✭Delancey


    20% actually sounds about right - if the sellers get 30% then I would guess the company employing them ( quite separate to PAWS ) takes around 50% which seems to the ' charity ' norm these days.
    Not nice to think of an elderly animal lover giving a fiver to help animals not realising the animals only benefit to the extent of 1 euro :mad:

    In any event I am sick to my teeth of charity collectors or people asking for a direct debit - I ignore them always.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,010 ✭✭✭marley123


    It actually works out at 10% to the animals - how many people are aware of this when donating???:(
