Pros

The Benefits were decent and they were very inclusive.

Cons

Toxic, overbearing MRO's, who bully you into doing anything and everything to make more money and sacrifice quality of care. The new CEO started the end of 2025 and then company secretly started shutting down hospitals across the country and not being transparent with employees. MRO's negotiating the least amount as possible for all hospital manager salaries but will offer MDVM and any DVM willing to come on board anything they want. HM's often work beyond scheduled times to market, go to community events, and also be expected to take your laptop on any vacation, because you will have to work and do payroll. They are taking away "hospital autonomy" and standardizing everything corporately so it is feeling much more like Petsmart and other gross corporate models for vet care. MRO's will also pass off all kids of tasks and admin work they are expected to be doing and force you to do it and hop on zoom calls weekly to police your peer hospitals on their progress or lack thereof. They raise prices every year of 6-10% but staff get a 3% raise if they are lucky. No where to move up from hospital manager, you will be stuck in that position forever. They are hurting financially so hopefully if you joing they will not shut your hospital down. Having a corporate mission statement is just to placate, this company thinks all employees minus their money makers, the DVMS, all expendable. They set unrealistic hospital goals like 13% labor and other goals so far under from industry average, that HM's actually have to jump in part time and work to offset these unattainable goals, while neglecting their daily onslought of tedious admin chores and zoom calls you have to be on if you are a problem hospital and they make you beg for your supper per se.

Pros

Helps the hospital afford things such as advanced monitoring equipment

Cons

Took away all part time employees benefits such as pto, sick time, and holiday pay. They tried to “smooth it over” by doing a calculation based on how much you worked the past two years that decides how much of a “bonus” you get every 6 months to make up for taking away our pto, sick time and holiday pay. It’s been 7 months and we have yet to receive that. Also this is only for 2 years and then after that you’re SOL.
