Pros
Striving to be the best Growth opportunities Passion for animal care VSH strives to practice the BEST medicine possible and that really shows in all areas of the organization. Recently though, they've begin to work towards being the BEST in all areas from employee happiness to science to customer satisfaction and of course medicine. I have worked at VSH for over 5 years primarily as a client service team member but have advanced greatly. There is a lot of room for career growth within this organization. Everyone shares a passion for animal care. I have seen individuals at every level of the organization from administration, to doctors, to technicians, to client care, emotionally affected by both the heart breaking and celebratory events animals go through within these walls. Everyone feels greatly for their patients and this is reflected in how decisions are made from the top down. Patient care and the client come first.
Cons
Emotional Industry Busy Practice I would recommend that anyone considering working at VSH long term, keep in mind the emotional side of the specialty industry. All of our patients are coming to us with chronic or sometimes life-threatening issues. This can take a toll on the parents that love them and the employees that empathize with the patient and client. I wouldn't say this is a con per say as it also provides an amazing opportunity to give and find meaning in your career. But, it is something to keep in mind. It's important to take care of yourself so you can take care of others. VSH is a high volume practice. You will ALWAYS be busy. Some people strive in this type of atmosphere and some do not. It's important to know that you like working in a practice where you're always busy.
