      Pros

      You get to work with animals. Some of your coworkers are cool.

      Cons

      I worked at 2 different hospitals. Corporate acts like they care, but they just care about raising prices. For such a large company you would think they could give butter benefits. 401k was a sad 1% match but they upped it to 2%. Whoopee. Health insurance is not great. Forget about getting sick you only get 3, 8 hour days a year. Both of the hospitals I worked at were 10 hour days. Overworked and underpaid. Toxic employees do whatever they want.

      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?
