Pros

The environment was casual and my peers were friendly.

Cons

Management (Accounts Payable Department) was completely non-supportive, to the point of discouragement. Instead of any kind of praise for goal-achievement, they focused on the mountain of work that still had to be done and how the rest of the departments had no regard for us. Employees would ask a question and get a brusque retort and an eye roll. I also was brought on (and quit a company I loved in order to relocate) with an offer of temp-to-perm, with at least a 6 month stretch. I, along with several others, was laid off within four months.

Pros

Good benefits, mostly friendly staff. They buy the staff lunch a lot, also drinks and snacks. Decent tips from some owners after they pick up their dogs.

Cons

Undervalued, underpaid, over worked. Only the Vet Techs receive gifts from companies, on any given day we are sent bottles, yeti cups, action cameras etc. but the kennel staff gets nothing.

Pros

Great discount for your pets, yearly raise based on performance

Cons

Average pay is generally low, my salary was negotiated prior to being acquired by VCA. Minimal holiday's off and if it happens to land on a Sunday, no pay.
