Pros

>It's a job >I get paid. >And am completing my training.

Cons

>Ridiculous long hours working 10 hour shifts most days >Constantly feel undervalued by management >Management care more about expanding and profits than supporting and caring for current practices and staff >Treat staff as sales reps pushing sales of healthcare plan to clients who don't want it and threaten disciplinary action if targets are not met! >Low pay for working damn hard at the maximum legal limit >The 1 vet 1 nurse approach to small practices leaves staff exhausted all day everyday >Refusal to listen to staff opinion and constantly refuse to compromise to make working environments better for staff >Head office constantly fire out demanding emails expecting things to be done when staff are exhausted and pushed to breaking point already. >Zero appreciation for the frontline staff who put their heart and soul into the care of their patients. >Any pathetic attempts at staff discount or rewards package are a joke and it's quite offensive how they think this is worth being offered. >You work hard for them for 4 years as a PCA and SVN and as soon as you qualify and become an RVN you are given no choice but to leave because they refuse to pay you the qualified wage you've earned. >To top it off they replace your experienced qualified self with a complete novice that can barely hold a dog let alone single handily run the practice every night!!!
