Pros

Grad programme is absolutely phenomenal, they put a lot of effort into making you feel supported, some really nice people working higher up. Their mission is supposedly ' To be the company people most want to work for', does show a bit.

Cons

Corporate takes all the profits from a practice so job can feel gruelling as obvs vet work is q hard for what is a low salary with poor natural progression. Also they botched the rebrand - couldn't have come across more corporate if they tried. 'CVSvets'? Really? Makes medivet look warm friendly and welcoming. And you can't tell clients that it stands for 'care, value and service', that just sounds like satire.

Thank you for your review and feedback. We are pleased to hear about your experience of the graduate programme. On your point about the profits, you will be aware that there are substantial overheads with running a veterinary business such as our people costs, rent, energy costs, drugs and other consumables. We also reinvest much of what’s left into improvement of our practice facilities as well as IT. On the point about the CVS brand, we will listen to your point, but we have been very deliberate in saying that we want to be clear about who we are and what we stand for. Many thanks, CVS Team.

Pros

The team on the floor is incredible and work tirelessly to give animals the best care despite restrictments from management

Cons

Business focus rather than animal welfare, money making is the priority, don't fund up to date working equipment, very short staffed meaning not enough staff for patients leading to long tiring hours. minimal career development opportunities and poor resources to learn from.
