Pros

none, there is no support system

Cons

complements are given, then told what we did wrong , and they only care about future booking. CSR at VCA have more tasks, than any other animal hospital. We are the first responders and are treating and paid horribly

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We recognize the essential role Client Service Representatives play in our hospitals and the wide range of responsibilities they manage as the first point of connection for clients, patients, and care teams—often in fast‑paced and emotionally demanding environments. At VCA, leaders are expected to provide balanced, constructive feedback and meaningful support, and we understand how an emphasis on volume without adequate context or coaching can impact morale. We continue to evaluate roles, expectations, and compensation across our hospitals and to invest in wage increases over time, with a focus on recognizing the impact Associates have on patient care and the client experience. Feedback like this underscores the importance of leaders staying closely connected to the day‑to‑day realities of hospital roles. We remain committed to listening, strengthening leadership accountability, and continuing to evolve the Associate experience so our teams feel supported, respected, and empowered.

Pros

This company offers many opportunities for doctors and techs to grow in their careers. They provide tons of support and they've been making HUGE changes to veterinary medicine on a whole. I have never known another company to offer so many benefits and perks for staff (especially techs), and they're even making lots of effort to invest in the veterinary receptionists-the front line associates of the hospital. They're also making great strides to acknowledge some of the feedback we've had for many years. They're savvy and smart, making business decisions that build on a company that will be around a long time (and has.)

Cons

There have been times where transparency and communication are lacking, and sometimes to the point where hospital-level employees feel left out or unheard. Some bigger topics like onboarding and navigating what support comes from where could be more clear. It feels like they've been fusing on new concepts/policies/features to the company, making it feel like a clunky machine rather than building something new and streamlined. Maybe it's in the works, but how do we know down here?
