Pros

The clients appear happy when being seen for consultations.

Cons

- communication within team and with management is extremely lacking -VCAs performing anaesthesias with limited knowledge and training - animals left to recover in kennels on their own without being handed over to relevant ward members - wildlife and exotic care is abysmal, lack of correct husbandry and food. Majority of staff are not aware of how to care for these creatures. - poor hand hygiene, there is one sterilium/hand sanitiser between wards, theatre, prep and isolation. - thrown in with only online induction, no form of training/induction on site for nurses. - management/senior nursing makes decisions without informing the team. - rota changes last minute (often less than 9-10 hours before next shift) and are often not told to relevant people - management do not keep track who is on annual leave or days off. -rotas are almost always wrong. - rota changes are often communicated out of hours - not all nurses revive hand overs, therefore treating animals without knowing what they are presenting for.

Pros

I left and am not employed by them anymore

Cons

Well where to begin… absolute joke of a company. All about the money, don’t care for their actual clinical team, practice managers and regional directors etc were made redundant left right and centre so no one to go to if any issues. Even when there was someone to go to with an issue it “was beyond there remit” and it’d get sent to someone else and so forth. You’d have new people from higher up come into the practice and talk to the lead vet but they wouldn’t address or even say hello to the clinical team on the floor, they’d just walk out without so much as a goodbye. Never asked the clinical team about any issues, had a massive turnover of staff and let some good people go and nothing was done about it or even addressed their resignations. Always increasing prices and adding ridiculous new policies without so much as a word to give a heads up so their clinical team could know. I could go on but I’ll end it with I’d 10/10 recommend NOT working for them

Pros

- Good continuity of care with 24 hour practices as you can access the records and good communication in general. - Practices with a good lead vet/branch partner are really great, you have a lot of autonomy and it's not so 'corporate' - The people you work with. - Make reasonable adjustments and generally understanding. - Benefits improved over the years with private medical insurance, 'day for you' - Really good graduate programme! -

Cons

- Management changes constantly. - Limited sick pay. - Bureaucracy can sometimes be very draining in terms of efficiency but also mental health.
