Pros

Being a large corporation, they have more money that can be spent on better diagnostic tools, which is obviously good for the pet. They also promote lifelong wellness for pets.

Cons

Terrible pay for employees. At our clinic, doctors, technicians, and front desk staff alike ALL complained about bad pay. Benefits were almost nonexistent. The benefits that they did offer were pathetic given the size of the company. And our clinic was one that actually made quite a bit of money- which is the other thing- It seems like they only care about how far a clients pocket book will stretch. Higher prices, call centers intercepting our calls, etc. have taken away the comforting home town feel that our clinic used to have.

Pros

Good benefits, decent salary, fair work life balance though may be clinic/region dependent, less restrictive and better culture as far as veterinary corporates go

Cons

Carrot and stick corporate management style. Revenue was very good when I started, and so the way we were treated by the higher ups was great. When the number of appointments and overall revenue dropped due to the economy and other situations outside our control, the micromanagement began. Though understaffed, we cannot hire anyone. Everyone is burning out. No cost of living adjustments or raises for anyone. The demands and the pressure continue to increase without acknowledgment of successes. It became clear very early on that upper management leaders have no experience in a clinic setting, as has often been my experience.
