      Pros

      The hospital I worked at was a teaching and flag hospital, therefore, it was great about cross training employees and working on personal goals as a tech. It's also one of the largest VCA hospitals in California next to VCA Loomis and VCA headquarters in Los Angeles. They offer a lot of overtime incentives in addition to overtime pay and quarterly raises.

      Cons

      I've been told they underpay techs compared to other private practices. Ask for more money when hired that way when they counter with an offer lower than your asking price you will receive an amount higher than anticipated and paid from the beginning.

      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?
