Pros

Great co-workers at my particular clinic. It is a like a family with the exception of a few. Free Vaccines.

Cons

It's always about the money, not about appropriate staffing levels or doing what is right by the employees. It takes more than two technicians-even highly qualified ones- to keep two Dr.s moving. Production based medicine encourages Dr.s to run up client bills to meet their quotas, resulting in clients being "guilted" into doing unnecessary things. Highly qualified technicians are treated like kennel help with a distinct lack of respect for their experience or schooling. (Just because I don't have a DVM behind my name doesn't mean I don't know anything) On my way out, just waiting for the right opportunity.

Pros

Discount is helpful when caring for your own pets.

Cons

Managment is awful. Especially the new ones who have the book smarts but no general knowledge of how to run an office. Company is full of gossipy staff members who will not make a new comers experience pleasant. Overall, your pets health is NOT their #1 priority, its the MONEY. People who work within those doors know the truth. Listen carefully and save yourself some money. They treat staff like they work at a sweat shop in China. Minimal staff to get payroll down. This means sloppy care for your pet.
