Pros
Schedule flexibility, great Co workers, great mission statement, commitment to excellent medicine. Great pet discount.
Cons
Low salaries, little to no acknowledgement from middle / upper management of staff that go above and beyond. Nepotism runs rampant leading to hiring and promoting of family and friends as opposed to qualified proven long term loyal employees which leads to excessive amounts of frustration, under appreciation and ultimately turnover. No standards or continuity in pay, completely random and at the discretion of management and what they can get "approved". People (staff) love their home Hospital and ultimately leave the company frustrated that they love it and work harder at making it succeed than the regional managers they answer to. Finally, when long-term loyal committed staff do decide to leave VCA, instead of questioning why and trying to minimize the loss of these employees VCA could literally care less a very very poor attitude to have in this day in age.
