Pros

You need a job and nothing else is working out? ...go for it. But learn and get what you can for as short a time as you can...and GET OUT! Don't get sucked in the Antech/VCA culture.

Cons

Expensive health care. More work; lesser pay. Too much to hope for employee appreciation. Hard workers either gets burned out or becomes scape goats. Not much of any training. You have to practically teach yourself. Accountability for all...none for management. Errors and problems (which is rampant) are fixed by simply firing employees instead of proper training. No employee retention program.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

Great quality of medicine. Great doctors. Team members that genuinely care about each other. Management is very fair about approving time off requests.

Cons

Pay could definitely be better. Inconsistent scheduling. If you don't speak up, you'll get the short end of the stick when scheduled and they will burn you out. Not enough organized training, especially for new employees, even though they have meetings all the time.
