Pros

The benefits package is something that everyone loves, Health insurance, PTO, pet benefits just to name a few. The work experience is extraordinary and being able to use the skills that you have been taught. The Doctors are excellent at their jobs and the willingness of some Doctors to teach what they know to the RVT's and Animal Aides.

Cons

We are understaffed and can't seem to get and KEEP good people. Part of the reason for lack of keeping people is the pay isn't competitive to keep them in the ER or nursing department compared to other positions where you don't need a degree. Trying to get PTO and getting a response back from your manager with questions is like pulling teeth sometimes. PTO scheduling needs some work, there were some cases where two people in the same shift would both have the same whole week off, but it seems that only one person per shift can have one day off. Some of the staff can have off-putting attitudes until you "prove yourself" to them which can be taken as annoyance and lack of acknowledgment to the new employee.

I appreciate your review. PTO is something that we are looking at this year, but it sounds like the bigger problem you are facing is being able to take the time off you have. I know we have staffing challenges and our broader industry. However, it's also really important, typically for those of you in clinical settings, to make sure you have time to refresh and recharge. I'm not sure what hospital you work at, but please make sure you are raising or concerns to your hospital director and/or your HR partner. Additionally, within the next few weeks we will be launching our first quarterly employee survey. It is being run by an outside survey research firm, and no one at MedVet, including me, will be able to tell who said what or even who responded. I encourage your candid feedback. Thanks!

Pros

The staff at the Commerce MedVet have been very supportive and helpful with teaching me the skills I was previously lacking. I got my first feline jugular blood draw and I was also given great tips about IV catheter placement.

Cons

I have no cons, the staff are very welcoming and if you want to learn they want to teach.
