You are disposable, loyalty and experience does not matter - Hospital Manager Companion Pet Partners Employee Review

Compassionate, Caring & Dedicated Teams Exceptional clinical care at our hospitals Strong field leadership and Corporate Support team Growth & Innovation focused Leadership commitment and engagement Recognition of hard work

There is a high focus on accountability and attention to detail. This is a POSITIVE for most people but not everyone wants to have this level of responsibility and commitment that it takes to stabilize and grow a business.

Dedicated hospital-level teams genuinely care about patient care, clients, and supporting one another. There are talented individuals throughout the organization who work hard despite challenging circumstances.

Executive leadership often operates from a place of fear rather than trust, resulting in excessive micromanagement and an environment where employees may hesitate to provide honest feedback or challenge decisions. There appears to be significant overlap in personal and longstanding professional relationships among members of the leadership team, which can create perceptions of favoritism, bias, and a lack of diverse perspectives in decision-making. Many operational initiatives seem reactive rather than strategic, leading to the creation of additional trackers, reports, and administrative tasks that increase workload without clearly improving outcomes. Instead of empowering local leaders to use their expertise and judgment, there is often a focus on monitoring activity rather than supporting meaningful results. The private equity ownership group entered the veterinary industry without prior veterinary medicine experience. While financial performance is important in any business, there are times when decisions appear to prioritize short-term revenue objectives over the unique realities of veterinary healthcare, team wellbeing, and sustainable hospital operations. There is a noticeable disconnect between executive leadership and the day-to-day challenges faced by hospitals. Leaders would benefit from spending more time understanding frontline operations before implementing broad organizational changes.
