Pros

As a true animal advocate any time you get to make a difference in any animals life it’s the most genuinely rewarding feeling and the best part of my time working at the ASPCA animal hospital.

Cons

Terrible work culture. Unnecessary use of muzzles on animals. Staff is supposed to be fear free certified but they prioritize staff safety before animal empathy and temperament assessment. Work gets pushed on newer staff, while other staff spends more time gossiping with each other and drawing in the medical exam table like middle school students rather than actually working. Isolation is a walk-in disaster. A place where a parvo dog is mixed in with dogs with kennel cough. The hospital turn over rate is so bad that the hospital is consistently short staffed. The overnight team is disregarded even though they have had some of the hardest working shift members I saw during my time working there. New staff is not properly trained by some staff members. And are not openly welcomed into the team. Higher up management spends their weekends hanging out with other staff members and biases can be seen clearly on the job. Their floor managers spend more time in their offices than on the floor. Their morning schedule is not parallel to their midday/afternoon schedule. And they wonder why keeping a team member on that schedule has been so unsuccessful. Some of their LVTS are incredible but unfortunately there are others who lack skills and empathy.

Pros

Shift Preferences, somewhat fair pay, and excellent benefits

Cons

MICROMANAGEMENT to the point you go insane. I have been told very unsupportive advice when I started really struggling at this job. Stats were changed to where it only matters how much you make the company in a day and if you don't hit it, it leads to more micromanaging and coaching to the point you just want to sit and cry. 6 doctors left in 6 weeks everyone talks to me how toxic of an environment it is. I have made and lost so many friends to quitting and not sure how much longer I will be here either. I started thinking I would retire from here but management has all but made that pretty much impossible unless things change again. Most people leave with severe mental health and physical challenges.
