Pros

There are some people who are smart, kind, and really looking to change the industry. The clinics are clean and open, and the business model is great in theory. Opportunity for scrappy work in a start-up feel.

Cons

The leadership doesn't tolerate mistakes or people who take a while to catch on. They make reactive decisions based on anecdotal feelings versus facts, and make changes quickly without thinking through repercussions. It makes for messy operations and an overworked HR team. Because they struggle with hiring, most employees are doing more than one person's job worth of work and are not valued for the contributions they make to the business. In an attempt to be agile, the leadership pivots quickly to the point of whiplash, which makes it difficult to support initiatives that change constantly.

Pros

I think the compensation is decent, with average hourly rate and medical insurance. Free and automatic Modern Animal membership which gives you discounts on product and services.

Cons

What you see on the outside, isn’t what it actually is on the inside! You see friendly faces and accommodating staff, assistants, and vets, but in truth, the workplace is hostile with demanding seniors and management! We are overworked, stressed, and we basically just drag ourselves to work because we signed a contract. But as soon as the contract’s done in six months or a year, most would end it there and leave! Though a few still tries and give it a chance, or maybe they have more patience and endurance than others, but they would still end up leaving after the next contract expires! No one makes it permanent here. It’s just unbearable. The animals could maybe absorb all the negativity, but dealing with everything and everyone here is exhausting!
