Pros

Very good environment to work with animals if you have a passion for it. There is so much turnover for animals and its great to see them find new homes after caring for them. The work is tough but rewarding and my coworkers were some of the best Ive ever had. Great overall work experience, and great people Ive met here.

Cons

In my opinion its very hard to please or be in communication with any of the managment. You have to be very careful with time off, or any kind of slip ups. People get fired from here often and for not so fair reasons also. You have to be very careful with what you do or say here or you WILL get fired. I didnt feel I was in very good communication with management and info sort of just trickled down or was sent in emails, not face to face.

Pros

Great learning experience right out of veterinary school. Helped in learning more about spectrum of care and shelter medicine that I may not have learned in school. Lots of surgery experience. Great mentorship while also having the opportunity to learn and grow as a new doctor. No weekends or on call shifts for interns. Many well-established SOPs/protocols aid in consistency among treatment for animals with commonly seen diseases.

Cons

Salary was lower than I would be making at a full-time position elsewhere, but compared to other internships, the salary was very nice!

Pros

The people are excellent everyone on the floor is passionate about animal care and it shows, most every one is friendly and the care they provide is top notch both with helping animals that are owned and shelter animals

Cons

Burn out, under appreciated/compensated staff, most senior leadership has zero animal welfare experience, the prioritize length of employment over quality and experience of newer staff, call ins the staff members call in often and there are no real repercussions so they continue to do bare minimum for years while in turn burning out the reliable staff members
