Pros

I am a animal lover so I thought this would be a great opportunity for me but things changed really quick. I got to know our clients and pets and working with them was great. Management was very new and I was told things when I began but things changed and I was doing it all on my own and I will tell you it wasn't easy at all.

Cons

The very first day I started I got bit in the face pretty bad then a week later I got bit again. I was nervous at first but I did catch on quick and I liked it. I also got dragged down on the concrete by bringing up two dogs to go home and I got really hurt, My face was bad and hurt my knee badly. I stayed there because I thought I could handle it but when management started working me by myself when I was told there would always be two people working up front and like I said things changed quick then I was alone up front trying to handle everything. I am a very hard worker and I care for my job that's just who I am. I feel like sometimes the hard workers don't get recognized for it. I just felt like I was not respected there at all.

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?
