Pros
Free tattoos, okay merch, maybe some yummy snacks.
Cons
Looking on the outside Modern Animal gives the appearance of sunshine and rainbows but up close it’s nothing but a dumpster fire. Spent $10,000 on a YouTube series called Contemporary Creatures that never saw the day of light because it was deemed inappropriate and racist. Would rather give people ‘free’ tattoos than give their staff livable working wages. Work-life balance is a joke. There are clients that are rude, demeaning, and aggressive towards the staff but Modern Animal just throws money at them or gives them free treatments to make them happy and shut up. A member wrote a review about wanting to become physically violent with an employee, but instead of addressing the violence and letting the client know that is unacceptable they just gave them free medication. Modern Animal is all about what we can do to make members happy again when they become upset. They never stand up for their employees. Here at Modern, the customer is always right. I guarantee that if you write a bad review, Modern Animal will give you money or do whatever means necessary to make you take down that review. Also, it is really nice when clients come in who are intoxicated and on drugs, but hey let's give them so many chances and make everyone uncomfortable before firing them. So much for a better vet for all. Upper leadership will most likely not check up on employees after clients make them visibly upset because you are replaceable in their eyes and they are only in this for the money. None of the clinics are profitable and their flows are not working, but hey let’s open more clinics and pretend everything is just fine. Good luck getting a break. Upper leadership is aware breaks are not being taken because there is no help or time but as long as the job gets done who cares about your well-being and mental health. Upper leadership might tell you they are looking into it/working on it, but that’s all you will ever get. Just best to report them to the Labor Department for break violations. They are more likely to fire staff who get stressed out about the lack of help/support than staff who do multiple no-call, no shows. It’s really just sad. Modern Animal had the promise of being that change for the better and they actually seemed like they cared, but when you have people running the company who have zero vet experience, good luck!
