Never boring, but awful management

Registered veterinary technician (rvt)

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I love our hospital because we can treat a lot of different issues. We are a general practice, so we focus on wellness, but we are equipped to treat emergencies while we are open. We do orthopedic and complex surgeries that would otherwise be done at a referral practice. In this sense, it is never boring.

Cons

I know I am underpaid compared to techs at other clinics and the management here needs work. I am on-call almost the entire weekend that I work, even though we are not open, and I get no incentive or additional pay for my time spent at work on my days off. I feel burnt out after only being a tech for less than a year.

Competitive pay rates, opportunities to advance your career, great for learning

Cons

At a certain level it can feel like you have nothing left to learn, it is a corporation that is conscious of payroll and will sometimes require cutting hours, not always willing to pay more
