Non veterinarians with no respect for the profession - Anonymous employee easyvet Employee Review

Look before you leap if you think you're interested in working for this company. Have you worked for non-veterinarians before? Take a look at the company ownership. Read their bios. Look at the relationships between those listed in the "support staff". Do you like the idea of "all in the family" at that level? What about prior business relationships and experience? What do you see that suggests veterinary experience? Is veterinary experience important at that level? Study their website. What does " minor health issues mean"? What does " drop in anytime your pet needs an urgent appointment" mean? Can you thrive in an environment where people can call and make appointments, appointments can be made online, walk-ins are welcome, and clients can join a wait list on line (and you never know when they will actually show up or what problems the pet may be experiencing)? And, oh, by the way, double booking appointments is standard operating procedure. As an associate veterinarian you will likely be working for a non veterinary owner with little to no veterinary experience. That owner may or may not have business experience. They have to pay you AND franchise fees before they make money. You WILL BE their money machine. Consider that before taking the leap. They say "no surgeries ever", but one location was doing dentals and cat neuters. They say "no Sundays ever", but the long term goal as expressed by the CEO was to be open seven days a week. Who's going to work Sundays? Another veterinary company starts their ad with the following lines: "Twenty appointments a day? The more the merrier! Said. No. Veterinarian. EVER." Easyvet says it all the time. They do pay well, however.
