Vantaggi

Good benefits, friendly hospital manager

Svantaggi

Poor communication in general. Hospital manager, staff and corporate are all on different pages. Poor training with high expectations. Virtually non-existent work life balance, staff worked until 12:30am and back to work at 8am, no motivation for employees trying to grow; co-worker started tech school but unable to finish due to staff forcing 12-14 hour days and no support. They will watch words carefully to avoid being sued but underhandedly expectations are to work hours past scheduled time and to not take meal breaks. Will absolutely take advantage of employees if allowed. Staff argues constantly without action from management. Constant schedule changes with no set day off. No wonder the VCA suicide rate is so high.

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?
