VCA reviews

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PAY! I had 10 years experience, was with the company for 4 years and made $13.10/hr. NO ADVANCEMENT The emphasis is on making money not on patient care Crappy benefits You are just a number in the companies eyes and the only people that make it to management positions are corporate lackies that will TREAT you like the number you are You can be doing an amazing job, be amazingly skilled, and have outstanding client/patient repertoire, but the only thing you will ever here is that you didn't do something right (like sell a Best Care package to someone who was obviously not interested) and you need to do better I worked at one VCA hospital in Minnesota 8 years ago. Then this most recent stint of time was 3 years at a hospital in Massachusetts, TRANSFERRED and another year a a New Hampshire Hospital. All Hospitals were the same, regardless of area. I left on good terms, my manager even said she would be happy to give me a positive reference, and i find out they put me on the DO NOT REHIRE list for no known reason

No love for employees. Pay rate is absolutely terrible. Whatever you start at is what you will make your entire employment duration. If you really really push , then you might get a 50 cent raise after 2 years or so. Very high turn over rate especially in management. Alot of hospitals share 1 manager between 3 or 4 hospitals making them absent and disgruntled when they are there. Very petty corporate values regarding policies and the health care of patients. Doctors are forced to sell unnecessary products and services to meet a certain quota so as not to have salary deducted. Introduction of senior best care package puts employees health at risk by offering 5 view whole body x rays along with complete lab panel for cheap price. Employees are exposed to unnecessary and excessive amounts of radiation as doctors are encouraged to sell at least 10 packages a day resulting in nearly 100 exposurs in a day to employees for no good reason other that it's a good deal. Employees are pushed to sell new monthly installment package plans to clients that deduct money from your account monthly and can never be cancelled even if your pet dies. Employees are brainwashed a lot of times to believe that their isn't anything else better for them.
