VCA reviews

Depending on the hours, I would feel uncomfortable coming and going to work. I worked the night shift when the hospital closed, and the door wouldn't always lock. The neighborhood isn't the worst, but it's not the safest either. Sometimes I would go upstairs and not hear a customer come in.

It was a large hospital, so that could have been part of it, but overall management was not good. There was not much contact with management unless you requested it; there were maybe quarterly meetings of the whole hospital. There were no department meetings ever. In general, employees were very unsatisfied with the basically "hands-off" managing done by VCA. In addition, while the prices charged to the client were extremely high, the salaries of both the DVMs and CVTs were pretty low and people were often leaving the practice. Healthcare benefits and animal care benefits were also not good, unfortunately.
