Modern Animal reviews

Run. Just run. If you are seriously considering Veterinary Medicine as a place of employment or making a decision to transition into another Veterinary Medicine organization, check this place out . . . Never! Read the reviews and trust me they are true. If you need to fact check, here is simple homework that will validate the toxic and vile environment; go on LinkedIn and message previous clinic teams, veterinarians, and corporate employees that are no longer at Modern Animal and ask them “why”. It’s simple, and it will provide you with all that you need to know in making an educated and informed employment decision. Becareful not to share your open and honest opinion that is touted as part of the culture as it will be used against you in what feels like a you are on trial in a criminal case. The toxic COO and her click will come after you with fury, while the bystanders know the pain and too afraid to speak up. On their 3rd round of layoffs The beautiful clinics are a smoke screen to headaches and trauma you will face in an already challenging industry. Best of luck.

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!
