Pros

The people that worked at this location were amazing, kind, and welcoming. We keep in touch to this day.

Cons

Refused a promised raise upon certification (condition of hire) because the individual hospital didn't meet their financial goals.

Pros

Perks, generally well organized, learn a lot in a short amount of time, teamwork is valued

Cons

Pay was insulting for someone with an bachelor’s degree in pre-veterinary science… I made the same as someone working at McDonald’s or Target while working up to 11 hours a day, administering vaccines, restraining animals, taking X-rays, monitoring anesthesia, running basic lab tests, prepping for surgery, and more.
