Pros

Working on a specialty hospital is good. The medicine that is practices very high-quality. And we have great toys to play with.

Cons

We’re just a tiny cog and a giant machine. We don’t get annual raises. Our prices go up tremendously every 3 to 6 months. We euthanize a lot of patients because of financial reasons.

VCA Response

We value your insights, and truly appreciate everything you do for your clients and patients. It's important to us that our Associates have opportunities for growth and we'd like to hear more about your feedback, so please email us at EmployeeConcerns@vca.com. Thank you.
