VCA reviews

Manager is a complete joke, all she does is does is gossip with employees about other employees or clients. When we are slammed never helps out even when phones are constantly ringing will occasionally answer phones, but only to put it on hold. Treats employees unfairly all the time. This one employee got in trouble for doing something she was not supposed to do, but I myself have done that same thing and so have countless other employees yet she got in trouble for it. Think the Manager should treat everyone unfairly. I have noticed some employees putting each other down when one makes a mistake whether it's big or small. I have felt so bad that I should go do something stupid to harm myself or something because of how some of the employees have treated me as well.

It was a large hospital, so that could have been part of it, but overall management was not good. There was not much contact with management unless you requested it; there were maybe quarterly meetings of the whole hospital. There were no department meetings ever. In general, employees were very unsatisfied with the basically "hands-off" managing done by VCA. In addition, while the prices charged to the client were extremely high, the salaries of both the DVMs and CVTs were pretty low and people were often leaving the practice. Healthcare benefits and animal care benefits were also not good, unfortunately.
