Don’t walk, RUN. - Veterinary Technician Catskill Veterinary Services Employee Review

Not sure where to start….. Toxic work environment: Both verbal and PHYSICAL abuse to employees. Constant gaslighting, bullying, triangulation and gossip Nepotism: Owners whole family works there which happen to be the biggest reason for the toxicity in the building. Brothers are held to different standards and the rest of the team is suppose to take on extra while they do less and less. Anyone who has a say that differs from theirs will be ostracized. Lack of follow through: Don’t fall for anything promised at hire. They will hire you for one thing and force you into a different position due to “hospital needs”, change your location with no compensation and promise you growth that never happens. Lack of communication: They will change your job duties and not communicate them to you. You will hear through the grapevine that your position has been changed. They will change your schedule without your knowledge then accuse you of no call/no show so they can try to fire you. Close minded: If you suggest something they do not like they will instantly start pushing you out. They have no interest in making any positive changes suggested by new people and scared of change even when it will help the hospital. No empathy: They do not care about you as a person. If it does not benefit them they do not care about you, your family or your life outside of work. Constantly make comments about employees personal lives, their mental health or their gender preferences. They will gossip and your personal issues when you confide in them. No work life balance: They over schedule and expect people to stay hours past their shift. If you do not live and breathe for them outside of work you are deemed a bad employee. Will deny PTO you have earned if they feel it did not benefit the company in some way. Scheduling flaws: As stated above they over schedule. Doctors are double/triple booked and also expected to cover urgent care and emergencies. They schedule surgeries that they easily need 3 technicians to run when there will be 2 in the building total. Benefits: They act like they have great benefits but they don’t. They will nickel and dime their own employees and you are better off going elsewhere to get care at a lower cost. Won’t let you use your earned PTO. Health insurance is very expensive.
