      Competent Corporation with some drawbracks

      Kennel manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      High level of growth opportunity with many hospitals and kennels across the United States. Many facets of the corporation to work for; from the hospital management to doctors to techs to kennel techs to lawyers and upper level management and accounting.

      Cons

      Low pay rate and few salary advancements. The medical benefits are nearly none. It would have cost me over $200 a month on a $1400 salary for basic benefits. The upper management is only focused on financial gain, and it leaves something to be desired in the way of individual hospital decision making.
