Pros

Discount is helpful when caring for your own pets.

Cons

Managment is awful. Especially the new ones who have the book smarts but no general knowledge of how to run an office. Company is full of gossipy staff members who will not make a new comers experience pleasant. Overall, your pets health is NOT their #1 priority, its the MONEY. People who work within those doors know the truth. Listen carefully and save yourself some money. They treat staff like they work at a sweat shop in China. Minimal staff to get payroll down. This means sloppy care for your pet.

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?
