Focused on revenue rather than employees and pet/pet owners. Constantly raising client costs which many people can no longer afford to pay has caused staff to be emotionally affected knowing the pet can be helped but we can do so little other than offer the small discounts we are allowed to offer. Pay sucks. I attended two schools and received Vet Asst. certification from both with a 4.0 GPA, have worked at my hospital for 25+ years and taken many CE classes during those years to stay up to date on animal care. Yet new hires with no animal experience, some hired with no previous job experience, are paid the same amount that I am. Pray that you are not injured on the job and claim L&I because Mars will deny your claim saying your injury was preexisting. They will probably consent to a dog or cat bite witnessed by others while at work but a broken bone or muscle pull, good luck.
