Pros

- More options for diagnostics such as ultrasonagraphy, in-house labwork, digital radiography including dental - Hospital policies encourage health screenings to allow for early intervention procedures - Up to date vaccination policies - Relief veterinarian pay is excellent

Cons

- Prices tend to run higher than a local clinic - Hospital policies make it difficult to accommodate lower income clients - Managers tend to be more concerned with making money than acting as a hospital (to a degree that some vets may find immoral) - Full-time veterinarians tend to get a raw deal on their contracts

Very good doctors, very poor management

Pros

Pay is good, competitive or a little better, and good equipment to work with. Employee turnover is above average, based on what friends who work at other clinics have to say. Good skills as DVM's. I would be very happy bringing my pets to NVA -- just not working there.

Cons

Management training for managers is terrible or nonexistent - don't expect to be anymore than resource to bring in money for the company. Little or no concern for employees. I have found that DVM's in general have limited or no training in working with and managing people and NVA makes no effort to evaluate or train their key employees in this area. If the location is making money corporate doesn't care how the employees are treated. This is a large company that is for the most part invisible to the public - and I am sure that is the way they like it. I imagine there are some NVA locations with good leadership/people skills, but it is because the individual came with the skills not because corporate cares one way or the other.
