What are perks and other benefits like at VCA?

Benefits. With exception to sick time and maternity leave, insurance and benefits are good.

Hostile work environments at the hospital level with little oversight from company. Low pay. Low 401k match. Terrible sick time availability.

Good benefits, management is good only at certain locations, overtime is sometimes allowed

Co workers can be useless as they hire just about anyone, way too expensive vet care, not great employee discounts

Great pay, benefits, and opportunity for growth.

More resources for handling challenges with DVM communication would be amazing. But still an amazing company.

Good benefits, great pet discount, flexible scheduling.

Hiring from the outside for positions that require more knowledge. Clinic Promotes from within to positions with under qualified employees who don’t want to grow or do the work.

Good benefits, discount for employee pets

Senior leadership not supportive of administration management, no training

No benefits for part time, you get a discount for your pets.

Corporates influence pushes staff to focus on profits and not client-patient relationships. Prices are constantly raises multiple times a year. Common surgery (dental, spay/neuter) are triple prices compared to local competitors. We lose money charging so much because the hospital down the road does what we do but cheaper. Actively changing us to a urgent care hospital because were seen as the expensive choice.

The only positive I can think to mention is that VCA does offer a competitive pay rate and benefits package.

I have never worked in such a toxic work environment as I have within this office. The staff is completely disconnected with one another and you definitely feel like it is an "every man for himself" type of environment. The veterinarians and office manager are down right abusive to employees and there is obvious shows of bullying and favoritisms throughout the office. Management is not supportive at all and doesn't even know how to do most of the jobs the employees are doing! Got ideas? They don't want to hear them and I have never seen an office that just looks right over any strengths its employees might have. I was hoping for a job here that would help me learn and grow and all I felt was that this job held me back. The actual work I was doing here was very intense and at times overwhelmingly busy, with no help to be had as we worked on a skeleton crew. If we had been properly staffed, I would say this was a good job to have, but with the aggressive behaviors that seemed to be accepted in this office, I could never suggest someone to work here. In my 30 years in the workforce, I have never worked in such a cold, callous environment. Also, on another note, I worked here and got big discounts and even free services for my pets during my employment and I never once took my animals there. Why? 1.) Because I did not trust our vets with my own animals 2.) The exorbitant prices were so unreal, I could go just about anywhere in town, including the emergency vet and pay less for service.

Good benefits, insurance is affordable, additional benefits because they are owned by Mars.

Quota for wellness plans and home delivery sign up, have to sign people up on home delivery wether they want it or not, poor training, no respect for experience or education.

Of the two hospital managers I had when working there, the second was absolutely lovely. The benefits are really good, for pets and employees.

Upper management is horrible. This areas regional and district managers are some of the worst managers. Management does not listen to any concerns or try to fix them, they only make it worse. If minimum pay coming into the company goes up, you will not get a raise if you are already there. It is very hard for someone to get fired so if someone terrible is hired, it takes a lot for them to be able to fire them. Pay is not great.

The company offered benefits are pretty good

The management doesn’t care about anything
