Pros

Helping animals, used to have a great employee discount, employee pet feeding plan/discount, and free revolution for my cat.

Cons

the health insurance is a joke, they only care about money, the pay is horrible! I am an LVT and I was not paid near what I should have been paid. Also a lot of the techs there did not go to school and they were paid better than I was. The staff played favorites and techs were treated more like janitors than techs while the assistants sat around and did nothing. In fact the other LVT and I had a joke that we were "Janitor Technicians". Also the prices were outrageous!

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?
