VCA West LA Animal Hospital - Vet Assistant VCA Employee Review

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.

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.

Easy to pickup training material and manage tasks for this role.

Can become overwhelming handling check ins for multiple departments and answering phone calls.
