Pros

State of the art emergency hospital, great staff veterinarians

Cons

Upper management and HR create such a hostile work environment for the hospital staff. Your concerns and suggestions are met with cold opposition, and they will create an even more hostile work environment if you so choose to speak out on important animal welfare issues. I've witnessed countless coworkers receive very harsh reprimands when voicing legitimate concerns. The turnover rate is abnormally high, and it's abundantly clear why. The hospital staff is under appreciated, scrutinized when attempting at a work-life balance, and often mistreated by management. I've watched some of the most dedicated and ethically sound coworkers quit due to utter frustration at the corrupt politics of this organizations. Along the same line, I've watched many loyal and hardworking coworkers get fired for unjust reasons. It's beyond unfortunate that upper management can poison the great potential this organization holds. I hope someday this will change, and DoveLewis will clearly see the value in its employees, and start treating us with the respect we all deserve.

Pros

Education and quality on floor staff- that’s literally it

Cons

Management is a joke. One person in particular is allowed to do whatever they please and will never have to take accountability. For way too many years, she has continued to fire or write up people who question her or try to stand up for themselves. MULTIPLE employees have built cases against her with EVIDENCE and have presenting it to management- immediately leading to excuses for this manager and somehow a write up or termination for the employee. Fired someone who had a health issue that caused them to be five minutes late sometimes, fired someone who had a doctors note for experiencing an emergency on the ER floor and needing to leave, fired someone for calling out on a snow day when they felt unsafe (about 15 other people called out, no one else got fired), prevents growth for people who does kiss up to her. This place is a joke
