Pros

Good life work balance most of the time.

Cons

A back stabbing environment where management will make an example of you in order to bolster their own careers (even when you are a new employee following direction). New employees are not made to feel welcome. Generally a pretty poor place to work where the vet staff is pitted against the office support staff by middle management. Having seen their practises behind the scenes, I would not recommend new clinics to join with this organization.

Get to do what you love with animals but at a price to your well being.

- low wages or no raises in over 3 years - poor management (lack of experience) - little training for management - terrible hours (either too low to qualify for benefits or overworked with no OT)

Pros

They stick to protocol for the most part

Cons

They tell you what you want to hear in the beginning then change everything after a year. Prices hiked so much that every 3rd person would comment.
