Vantaggi

Sometimes you get to see a cute animal that isn't near death's door or in agonizing pain

Svantaggi

Where do I start?? -NO BREAKS -NO TRAINING: coworkers don't help you out and seem to get some sick satisfaction from watching you fail -Inappropriate behavior and conversations by staff in front of clients -Doctors and techs treat you as if you are inferior -False promises, assigned more tasks than discussed in interview -Being forced to treat dying animals as opportunities for money -NO payment plans or any sort of mercy for people begging to save their pet -Being forced to go into rooms and go over euthanasia with customers (should be a techs job!!) -Being screamed at by people over the phone every single day -Pay is terrible: you make the same at Dairy Queen -Co-workers are disengaged and rude to newcomers AND clients -Boss is money hungry and completely out of touch with client service -If you work here, you must have no qualms about cleaning diarrhea off the front rug 3 times a day -No communication between departments, absolute chaos and confusion -Ridiculous policies that force you to emotionally manipulate clients and avoid giving them the cost of service until they are forced to pay every penny at checkout -Rampant sexism, men get favored by management at every turn (even getting gifts) -The computer program used (Woofware) is so confusing and counter-intuitive that none of the new employees could use it even after months of trying to learn

Vantaggi

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.)

Svantaggi

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?
