Pros

Pay was decent, quality apartment. Occasionally we are celebrated

Cons

Everyone is overworked and underpaid. Most people are stressed out because of work and take their frustration out on team mates by gossiping about them. Management does not prepare their staff when promoting which leads to burn out

Pros

The staff at the Commerce MedVet have been very supportive and helpful with teaching me the skills I was previously lacking. I got my first feline jugular blood draw and I was also given great tips about IV catheter placement.

Cons

I have no cons, the staff are very welcoming and if you want to learn they want to teach.
