Pros

Only good things I can say were the vets- Dr. Krampotich and Dr. Jossie that I worked with and the benefits. Also some of the employees who generally liked helping each other out and didn’t engage in any gossip behavior.

Cons

Management only cares about money not employees. Very break it and then throw away the employee once they’re done turnout rate. Negative, highly overworked and very ableist environment. Nothing will be done by management nor corporate about very aggressive or rude clients who may curse, yell and threaten you just for doing your job (which will be everyday). Forced overtime. Highly understaffed and almost by choice of management. Lots of behind the scenes negative gossip and blame between employees and management.

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?
