      Never boring, but awful management - Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) VCA Employee Review

      Pros

      I love our hospital because we can treat a lot of different issues. We are a general practice, so we focus on wellness, but we are equipped to treat emergencies while we are open. We do orthopedic and complex surgeries that would otherwise be done at a referral practice. In this sense, it is never boring.

      Cons

      I know I am underpaid compared to techs at other clinics and the management here needs work. I am on-call almost the entire weekend that I work, even though we are not open, and I get no incentive or additional pay for my time spent at work on my days off. I feel burnt out after only being a tech for less than a year.

      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?
