Pros

Great employee pet benefits. Awesome hospital manager, vets, and technicians.

Cons

-very little room for a raise -no holiday switches (i.e. if one person is working the kennel, they do work it EVERY holiday and are not asked if they want time off to spend with their family or a technician has off from Christmas until after New Year's Day). -extremely low pay for the amount of work that is done. Way below the pay market (we may not do it for the money, but it'd be nice to not worry how we're going to pay bill's and medical expenses each month as well as if we're going to be able to eat). -people who complain about needing extra hours but won't take your shift if you need to have off or have to have off; then turn around and STILL complain about it after taking your shift. -the inability to advance up the ladder.

Pros

It is a great environment to develop your skills and build your career. Have been with the company for 3 years. VCA has treated me very well. If you have a great manager, you will have a great experience.

Cons

Pay is less than with private companies. Doctors get away with bullying technicians.
