Pros

Can help provide veterinary hospital with advanced diagnostic equipment. Allow you to keep your hospital protocol and culture

Cons

Immediate management will entice you with their empty promises and interest to gain your employment. Once you arrive the nightmare will began. No holiday pay. Retirement is only what you put in. No employer contribution. You can obtain that at any insurance company. Overworked, understaffing, no raises, untrained staff off the street and missing management. Unlimited acceptance of non emergent and emergent patient walk ins on top of regular full schedule with no additional staffing and weeks without management seen causes burnout, chaos and compromised care. Good recovery monitoring post surgery and hospital care impossible due to over extending staff causing you to feel powerless and depressed. Bad treatment and bullying from upper staffed positions tolerated. Sexual harassment tollerated. False promise of change and concern when management notified. Will cause you to consider Change of carrer even if you previously loved the field. Compassion dies with exhaustion. Staff and patients suffer but as long as management meets under budget in staff payroll they will be rewarded with promotions and bonuses. Experienced and trained staff will slowly leave or not stay long and when out of experienced applicants will hire untrained family, freinds, and local retail personnel. Notify NVA and they pretend to send someone down and interview and act concerned. Then they leave and all remains the same. They do not demand good culture and care or management so you get what youb get when you sign up. You will work long hours which is normal for this field but the unrealistic demands will exhausted you and your family will suffer. Secrets within the back of these types of hospitals will remain until someone steps up and says we will not tollerated veterinary bad behavior.

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.
