Vantaggi

Company supports medical excellence Good referral support/specialist advice at any time for vets

Svantaggi

Base salary plus production is nearly impossible if in a slow hospital Contracts are standard and have terrible non-compete clauses If not meeting production your negative balance ACCRUES! You will NEVER dig yourself out. Poor managers in many hospitals - not spending money on inventory that sells, but will purchase useless things. Managers often lack management skills and business sense. Most vets overworked and have poor work/life balance Poor pay to excellent employees/staff. Poor staffing Does not understand how to utilize staff instead of just hiring more veterinarians to fight over production Production pay creates workplace tension/competition/stress VCA has become a money-hungry giant corporation that has forgotten about the veterinarians and technicians they employ.

Vantaggi

Small animal, exotics, free care to wildlife, opportunities to work with zoo animals. Internal promotions to change all management has made the work environment very positive. Boarding facilities. Opportunity for certifying for internal crematory.

Svantaggi

Pay rate less than expected for experience level. Corporate in California has increased prices every year that is causing all of my friends and family to change vets. With our rural area and low average income, pets are getting euthanized instead of having testing and treatment. Staff should have more discounts for employee pets.

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?
