What is the company culture at American Veterinary Group?

There is not anything positive to say about this company.

Upper management is full of people who have worked with the company since the beginning of the company. Because they have been with the company from the beginning or shortly thereafter, the leadership in corporate is made up of people who have been promoted beyond their skills based on seniority and not competency. They have multiple family members working for the company who are favorites and are untouchable. They constantly hire friends in leadership and corporate positions. Favoritism and nepotism are common and deeply embedded in the culture. It is a toxic culture and they do not care about practicing good medicine, they only care about money. They tell selling DVM’s that they will have autonomy and still be able to practice the way they like but it is a lie.

This company is true to the culture they hold and really wants to make sure everyone builds valuable relationships. You can definitely grow within the company

Turnover, but this is true for the entire veterinary field

Great people, Good environment with coworkers

Lack of transparency to company future. Management doesn't live the words they speak.

Outstanding support staff Company had good intentions

I’ve been in veterinary medicine for decades, and I’ve seen my fair share of good leadership and bad. This company loves to preach “relationships,” but when a man at corporate died, nothing was said or done. Hospitals are scrutinized relentlessly, yet no findings are ever shared. Instead, blame gets assigned, the target shifts, and leadership calls it strategy. The C-Suite shakes hands and smacks backs, but they’re out of answers and ideas, and their egos prevent them from seeking input from experts already working under this very umbrella. We’re on a bit of a “culture kick,” but it’s hollow. If you interrupt hospitals during busy times to beg staff to take part in distasteful stunts for the internet, that’s not culture. That’s theater. At this stage in my career, I know what real leadership looks like - and this ain't it. I guess I've reached my point. Thank you.

Culture is absolutely amazing great!

Regional directors have alot on their plate.

Growth- there are opportunities for growth that I feel you won’t find many other places. There were a handful of really great people who genuinely cared for the company and peers

Advancement is heavily influenced by who you know rather than performance or skill. Leadership and expectations can be inconsistent, making it difficult to understand priorities. Work-life balance is poor; long hours and constant availability are often expected. Internal communication lacks confidentiality. information tends to spread quickly and unprofessionally. Workplace drama and gossip is rampant

I genuinely feel proud to work for this company. The organization truly puts people first, not just in words but in action. Leadership consistently demonstrates care, transparency, and accountability, and the core values are actively lived at every level—not posted on a wall and forgotten. There is a strong emphasis on doing the right thing for teams, clients, and patients, even when it’s hard. Support, development, and collaboration are encouraged, and there is a clear commitment to continuous improvement. It’s refreshing to work for a company that aligns its decisions with its values and invests in its people.

Nothing comes to mind. I love this company!
