Advice to Management

We have great leadership that focuses on innovation. Leadership matters; thank you for your commitment to excellence. Continue to listen to our associates and make changes when appropriate.

Pros

I have worked for the company since graduation from veterinary school in 2014. I have enjoyed having experienced and structured mentoring when I started. I have also had many opportunities to grow professional and develop leadership skills leading to career advancement to a Chief of Staff. I enjoy educating others and sharing my passion for the profession. As a lead doctor one of my main focuses has been the maintenance and practice of quality medicine. The practice has recognized our role in the veterinary profession to lead care and that starts with quality medicine and care. Working in a culture where quality is not only celebrated, but actively pursued is refreshing. The comprehensive benefits package is also hard to beat!!

Pros

Lots of experience learned. You help save lives of pets.

Pros

Flexible hours, willing to train, easy to move locations, preventive care for pets, nice benefits

Advice to Management

While it's worth it to me, others would be willing to stick with the company more if they felt heard and valued. Pay is ridiculous when we are exposing ourselves to sick animals but coverage for work injuries is excellent. I enjoy the work and enjoy the ever changing environment, however there is a lot of burnout. I LOVE that Banfield was/is willing to train me since I don't have a degree in vet med.

Pros

Benefits, good starting salary, good support team, training for new grads

Pros

Getting to be around pets all day, learning about veterinary medicine, helping people and their pets

Pros

I just started working for Banfield but I find them to be very caring of both the pets and the employees. They are going through some restructure and that's always a challenge, but I believe they are a strong company and will get stronger going forward with some positive change. Scheduling so far is fair and the pay is good, about slightly above average for the area. My advice to anyone looking to work in an environment with customer service skills and a love for animals should shut out the negative people who stay where they are miserable and give Banfield a shot. So far I love it!

Advice to Management

I appreciate the on-boarding that is afforded to me as a new employee. I feel as though it's not about how much work you get out of me but more of how can I have enough time to give the best customer service and understand your philosophy. My advice, start to weed out the negative people and not take so long to do it. Unprofessional equals unproductive equals negative comments that may not be fair to you. Your PM's need to have the courage to write up and terminate the negativity that is very apparent for no reason other than you take it. Just sayin'. Thanks for the opportunity to work for Banfield. Hope I'm around a long time.

Pros

Decent pay, good benefits. Opportunities to advance into management.

Pros

Great benifits, good schedule and time off

Pros

Easy scheduling, fun environment, great work environment
