Pros

My office manager is hands down the best human being and the reason I am still employed there. The employee pet benefits are very good too.

Cons

Our price raised 3 times last year and again this year already. Each increase was from 4-13% and pet owners are declining services that are critical to their pet's health simply because they cannot afford it. Our office is so short staffed that we are not able to provide the top notch care that we used to provide but yet our fees keep going up. I do realize that the cost of running a hospital is increasing as well however our fees are no longer matching the care we are able to provide and pets are suffering.

Pros

This company offers many opportunities for doctors and techs to grow in their careers. They provide tons of support and they've been making HUGE changes to veterinary medicine on a whole. I have never known another company to offer so many benefits and perks for staff (especially techs), and they're even making lots of effort to invest in the veterinary receptionists-the front line associates of the hospital. They're also making great strides to acknowledge some of the feedback we've had for many years. They're savvy and smart, making business decisions that build on a company that will be around a long time (and has.)

Cons

There have been times where transparency and communication are lacking, and sometimes to the point where hospital-level employees feel left out or unheard. Some bigger topics like onboarding and navigating what support comes from where could be more clear. It feels like they've been fusing on new concepts/policies/features to the company, making it feel like a clunky machine rather than building something new and streamlined. Maybe it's in the works, but how do we know down here?
