Pros

At this point, I am only staying for the team and some DVMs. The employees are truly some of the best and most caring people I’ve ever worked with.

Cons

Management has refused to take action around complaints or suggestions from staff, and we are reaching burnout. The pay is abysmal, but from what I understand that is not directly in the control of the management at the hospital. Regardless, that doesn’t mean that what I am paid as a five-year employee of Deer Creek is reasonable. It does not feel like management is ever on the side of the staff.
