Pros

Great health benefits, PTO accrues at a reasonable rate and awesome pet care discounts

Cons

VCA shows very little appreciation for or desire to support their already licensed veterinary technicians (at least in general practice). They tried to hire me with 13 years of experience and licensed at an insulting rate and refuse to pay me the hourly wage I would get paid elsewhere. They’re more interested in hiring someone with zero experience for cheap and “training them” from the ground up. Corporate makes it impossible for management to separate employees not performing their job to standard which takes a huge toll on the rest of the team and is detrimental to the care of patients.
