Pros

They have some fancier equipment, nice scrubs, and good breakroom snacks

Cons

There are a lot of downsides, but the management won't listen to what you say anyway. They will gaslight you and turn it around on you. You can come to them with how you are feeling, and give them solutions on how to help, but they will not work with you. They will tell you to use one of the apps they sponsor and they will tell you to suck it up for the most part. They don't care about the staff and will run them into the ground. From a client standpoint, the place is great, but from an employee standpoint, you're just a pawn in a money-making game. You will never leave this place at your scheduled clock-out time. They will push the clinic and staff into doing treatments/procedures before the faculty/staff are ready.

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!
