Pros

Schedule flexibility, great co workers and management, gratifying job if you are into animal care, good pay

Cons

Mandatory to work all holidays, with no exceptions, very small raises, understaffed resulting in a lot of 10 hr shifts that extend to 12-15 hour shifts. You can only leave when the Dr. says you can go despite what your schedule is.

Pros

You can bring your dog to work

Cons

Management is old school. The company is run like a small mom and pop shop. Favoritism is seen on all levels. Worst benefit packages I have EVER seen. Worse than Obama Care

Pros

The benefits for personal pets is amazing. Some issues my dogs have had would have been impossible for me to treat/fix had I not had the discount. There are good benefits for yourself too. It's also nice that you can transfer if you ever have to move. There are VCA's everywhere.

Cons

VCA as a whole, the company is great. Different locations are better to work at than others. A few issues I've found is that there is a lot of favoritism at all of them. As a huge animal lover and activist I get very bothered when people are hired that don't LOVE animals. If you don't care about animals then you shouldn't be working at a vet. Period. I'd like to see a more positive attitude amongst the staff too. Some people, especially in er, can be extremely hateful and rude.
