Pros

Very little. They will sell their 'pension' and 'pay rises' to you as a benefit yet they're only keeping in line with the minimum by law. There's some health benefits but they got rid of the 'Refresh' budget so staff feel less valued.

Cons

The fact they are willing to pay their CEO millions but tell individual practices that they don't have the budget for literal pain relief for animals having major surgey, or for safe cleaning chemicals for reptiles species. Literally it's dystopian, cannot do your job properly or ethically because you're told you 'don't have the budget'. I think your Regional managers, clinical directors and anyone off the front line with their kids in private school and 4 skii holidays a year will disagree about the low pay. It's minimum wage for any of the most hard working staff. Very limited opportunity for pay increases. Very little management of managers, so senior staff get away with literally breaking employment law like telling staff off for discussing wages and pretending it's in our contract not to discuss pay. Needs serious investment into the service they're providing and to stop prioritising shareholder profit. But of course they'd never do that.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. There will always be areas where we’d like to invest more in pay but we made a significant investment in nurses’ pay in 2025. If you have a concern around the way that a specific pay issue has been handled please can you let your HR representative know? On pensions, we have to disagree as this benefit has been significantly improved and our matching contributions rise well in excess of the statutory minimum. Many thanks, CVS Team
