Pros

It's nice to see clients and pets in the home. More personalized service.

Cons

The scheduling system is a logistical nightmare with overbooking being a constant issue. Appointments are not monitored/filtered by anyone, enabling clients to make appointments for pets that need immobilizations or should be hospitalized. Expect to have 7-9 appointments on your schedule on any given day with no consideration for drive times (average 15 minutes to 1 hour in between appointments, one way), traffic/road conditions, multiple pets (range from 2-5 – by the way, this is still 1 appointment) or euthanasia appointments (you need to drop off or coordinate pick-up with crematorium service). You can also forget about getting lunch or even a bathroom break as these are not factored into the scheduling process. Requests for blocks in advance mainly get ignored by management as communication, training and support on ALL levels is subpar. The company is run by people with little to no experience in veterinary medicine that have unrealistic expectations of what can be accomplished in a mobile setting. It has a very high turnover rate, hiring new doctors as quickly as they lose them, and change is never implemented. You will be left to your own devices to figure things out as you go. They say they care about their employees, their clients, and pets. The truth is, they ONLY care about money and they are no different than any other large money-hungry corporate company, they are just on wheels.

Pros

Working for BetterVet has been the best job I’ve had and I hope to stay with this company for a long time if not ever. This company truly cares for you with offering amazing benefits, pay, and a flexible schedule. The area managers have your back always and are there to support you with whatever you need each day. We see about 5 homes a day and it is much more relaxed seeing pets in the comfort of their own home. You really get to spend time and build relationships with the pets and the clients instead of rushing between multiple exam rooms if you would in a clinic. I enjoy not being in a brick and mortar seeing the same 4 walls every day. We stop at local gas stations or coffee shops to grab snacks and go to the bathroom. There are some days where you may work from home catching up on call backs, emails, records, stocking the car, etc which is a really nice break from time to time. There’s quite a bit of freedom with this job that a lot of people in this field can’t say they have.

Cons

It’s a newer company so there are still small bumps in the roads. Scheduling can get overbooked some days but the dispatch team gets on top of figuring that out. Sometimes there can be missed communication between the clients to the client success reps to the care teams.
