Pros

There are talented, compassionate people in the clinics doing their best to provide great care. Unfortunately, they’re operating in a company that is falling apart behind the scenes.

Cons

The company is in a financial crisis - burning cash, slashing budgets, and looking to quietly shutting down clinics. Leadership won’t admit it publicly, but internally it’s obvious: voluntary exit programs, forced layoffs, and reorgs are being handled with zero transparency or compassion. What’s most alarming is that clinic teams haven’t been told anything. They’re still operating as if nothing’s wrong because leadership hasn’t communicated the severity of the situation. No heads-up about closures. No plan for what happens when support is pulled. No acknowledgment that coworkers will quietly disappearing due to layoffs. Leadership knows if clinic teams understood the real financial position, retention would collapse. So they delay, distract, and say nothing while making decisions that will directly hurt those same teams in the next few months. Leadership is unqualified and often promoted based on loyalty, not merit. If you’re not part of the "inner circle", your work is invisible. HR protects leadership, not employees. The “four commitments” are just branding. Behind the scenes, profit drives every decision, even when it directly harms care quality or employee well-being.

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!
