Pros
1. The people are friendly and down to earth 2. It's a good commute if you live in the South Shore
Cons
These statements are based on my time at VetCor headquarters through 2012. I left that year after slowly realizing VetCor was not a place to plan my future around. I have confirmed with colleagues that all of the following points are still true. 1. There were gaps in key management roles that remain unfilled while the company continued to grow 15-20 hospitals a year. VetCor did not have a Head of HR, Controller, Head of Benefits. I also heard that the CFO and Accounting Manager were let go some time recently. These are all essential positions that a company of 1,500+ needs to have. 2. Key departments were understaffed leaving the existing staff overwhelmed and unable to keep up. Accounting, for instance, was often late to pay hospital bills. This led to many cases of hospitals almost getting their utilities shut off. 3. No structure for career advancement. Annual reviews only happened once in the three years I was there. I noticed most people did the same exact job year after year without any growth. 4. Leadership did not communicate it's vision with employees. Other than hearing about new hospitals being added, leadership kept planning to themselves. Also, we were never informed when key people were let go and how that would impact us. The VP of Finance was let go without any communication. His desk was just empty one day.
