Pros

CityVet is a growing company with a lot of room to advance, and the investor group that has taken over is really working hard to improve employees' experiences. Some locations are positive environments with a lot of good people working for them. Some of the doctors are really good doctors/people.

Cons

There are multiple powerful people in the company that often block advancement for some who deserve it and push advancement for others who are undeserving. If you get in good with the powerful people of CityVet, you've got it made; if not, you'll either be passed over, run over, or pushed out. It's actually sad that a lot of really good employees (and great people) have been run off. They preach that they are client-centric but a lot of the doctors and higher ups are money-centric and the bottom line is what matters most to them.

Pros

One of CityVet's greatest strengths is its servant-minded leadership. Leaders are genuinely invested in supporting veterinarians and their teams, providing the resources and guidance needed to help them succeed. If you want to be part of the Hospital Support Team, you must believe in a collaborative, solution driven approach. There are meaningful opportunities for career growth across the organization. Many members of the support team began their careers working in CityVet hospitals, demonstrating the company's commitment to promoting from within and developing its people.

Cons

While CityVet offers significantly more clinical autonomy than many corporate veterinary organizations, it is not the same as being a sole practice owner. Decisions are made through a partnership model that balances individual clinic preferences with the company's overall brand standards and business strategy. If your goal is complete independence in every operational and business decision, this may not be the ideal practice model for you. Unlike many corporate veterinary organizations, CityVet empowers its clinics with a high degree of autonomy. Partner veterinarians are trusted to practice medicine in the way they believe is best for their patients and work collaboratively with leadership, rather than operating under a one-size-fits-all corporate model. This can be a challenge for support when trying to say "Yes" as much as we can without causing issues for other locations.
