Pros

-Doctors were the best and really cared about the patients. -You learn a lot with the doctors and most techs who are very willing to teach.

Cons

-Management was the worst. Didn’t care about its employees unless you were a favorite. -HR seems to be close with management so don’t even bother trying to explain any issues with them. They won’t even give a time of day to listen to you since they already speak with management and don’t care to get your side of the story with any issues. -Toxic environment at times -No room for advancement unless you’re the practice manager’s favorite. -Pay/raises with corporate is not great

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?
