Pros

-The clinics are amazing, the doctors, staff, clinic managers, etc are all doing their best to care of patients and fulfill the mission -pretty good benefits for corporate - incredible coworkers on corporate side, who typically really want to help and be in this together

Cons

Corporate side of business - culture is not the same as what they say it is. It is rooted in fear of failure, blame, gaslighting, manipulation, and in equipped leadership team as well as leaders promoted into manager, director, and even VP roles that aren't experienced enough or prepared to lead or make they key decisions needed. This has resulted in multiple "layoffs " in a few short years (some disguised as a voluntary opportunity to lay yourself off, or even very intentional and blatant performance management designed to pressure those they want out to quit.) The voluntary layoffs were coupled with pressure to lay yourself off sighting that if not enough people lay themselves off, then they would lay you off and it would come with less severance, time, etc. - extremely reactive leaders, who continuously change directions and leave others out of key information or decisions, and manage chaotically causing a lot of stress, fear, and re-work. -organization scaled too quickly, so now it has gone back to very primitive structure vs. the robust structure and scale we moved to at one point (elimination of departments, roles, closure of clinics I don't regret my time there because I learned a lot and know what to look out for in a future employer. Though I say that, I truly hope they can turn it around and succeed!

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!
