Pros

Very good discounts on veterinary, grooming, boarding, training, and daycare services. Discounted pet food from certain brands. Flexible scheduling. There are opportunities to advance within the company. The people who work here care about the animals they handle.

Cons

Advancement opportunities are rather linear. It feels like there is a lot of red tape from corporate that heavily restrains what is possible and what the time line to get things done is.

Pros

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.)

Cons

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?
