VCA reviews

Techs are underpaid but we love what we do

Difficult to make friends - there are a few buildings so you don’t have a lot of interaction. There are a few events but they’re not geared towards introducing and meeting people you don’t directly work with. It’s a shame because we do meet up every few months and it’d be a good opportunity to get to know people. Swag and discounts could be updated - They give away these little cups and towels but they’re uninspired. We end up just throwing them away. They should take a hint from the newer startups and have better giveaways. It’d be cool if we got tickets to cat cafes, or discounts for Casper dog beds, litter robots, and furbos. There’s so many new pet products out there and we just aren’t paying attention to them. Difficult to move upward - There are no annual reviews and managers don’t help with career plans. I spoke with a few other people that were new and we were all lost during our one year anniversary. Some people have had the same position for a decade! Expensive health insurance - I pay about $70/m for a high deductible health plan. Every year it is getting better but it’s pretty expensive for what you get. No gym stipend Dry Halloween party I know this is not a start up but they should stay updated with the times and be competitive. Seems like they need to start looking around and update their company spirit.
