Pros
Honestly, the ONLY good thing about BluePearl is the salary. For the industry, it is competitive.
Cons
When you take over a clinic you should really get to know your management and watch them work for a while; some people are not meant for management. Egos need to be in check before you're fit for management. Like many specialty hospitals, they think they are the best of the best. Trust me they are not, they don't care about their employees, they don't care about the area clinics, and they don't care about the customer. They care about the almighty dollar. If you are coming from a general practice, you are in for a shock when you hear how they talk about your previous clinic (your friends, your former boss, and your roots in the vet field). Long work days, no breaks (that includes lunch, hope you can stuff your face really quick in 5 minutes). Gossip, gossip everywhere. Little teenage, high school cliques. Every good person that works there leaves quickly, or when they are so broken and beaten down they have no choice. Rules change daily, with little respect to how to implement the rules, or how that will change the dynamic of the team and workday. Training is done by trial by fire. Want to leave and find something better? No worries, they'll hold the door open for you as opposed to find ways to keep you there. Was told that all employees are expendable. That's a horrible attitude to have about your most valuable asset. Stay away, the pay is not worth your soul.
