Vantaggi

I love being able to work with animals all day, working in the boarding kennels is great.

Svantaggi

The days are long, 10 hours. No breaks except a 30 minute lunch and the kennel people have no access to seating so we have to stand and walk around for the entire 10 hours. The schedule is set which is nice but I wish it was managed better. Working 6 ten hour shifts before you get a day off isn't how the 4/10 system was meant to work. Also, I've notice since VCA took over (we were previously veterinary run) that money is the biggest concern instead of client relations or the well being of the animals. We aren't allowed to work overtime and get in big trouble if we wind up getting even an hour of overtime pay and even the clients have noticed a change in the way things are handled now that vca is running the show.

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?
