Pros

-Very fair compensation; competitive pay. Good increases to internals who are being promoted. -Opportunity for promotion; very structured talent review process with specific goals to help you achieve a promotion -Good people - mostly everyone comes together for a common cause. Very high work ethic among employees. Good quality employees, good sense of humor, very competent -Lots of growth as a company; growing year over year. Mars ownership creates international opportunities and greater stability -Pets/dogs are allowed in the workplace -nice facility with everything on site (small gym, showers, bistro, coffee bar, etc) -casual environment - wear your jeans to work any day

Cons

-work life balance. Depending on your department and position you could be logging a lot of hours. super lean staff that relies on employees taking their work home -politics. managers are overly involved in making every decision. Employees don't get the opportunity to grow because things they can handle are moved up the chain for political reasons. it also wastes the time of management having to deal with silly things their employees could handle. -lack of trust. there is so much change sometimes employees don't feel safe.

Pros

Working with animals can easily become a passion as you see how a suffering animal gets treatment and gets well again, just like humans- can't beat that experience!

Cons

Poor communication from corporate to the field, some RVP's are very inexperienced and very poor leaders. HR makes it impossible to weed out the bad apples (pet nurses, csc's office managers ) but comes down hard on doctors. poor doctor training on the business side of the practice. very political company

Pros

-Great people -Great industry - working with pets is wonderful -good feedback on goals and performance -pay is better than retail and it's a much better environment

Cons

-open seven days a week, including evenings and weekends -sometimes messy - the joys of working with pets -being in a Petsmart takes away from the fact that we are a full-service hospital
