Pros

The animal benefits are extraordinary! If you have pets you will get the best care for them guaranteed! When I was a manager I used to bring my dog to work every day. I have also worked with some great staff over the years. I literally grew up in this company! No regrets with my VCA experiences

Cons

While the good outweighs the bad, there is some BAD. Sometimes it seemed as though my direct upper management chose popularity over production. When I was a manager I would see “sub par” level hospitals gain praise and rewards over successful hospitals (including my own) just because of art projects or beginning to do things that successful hospitals had already been doing but not gaining praise for. Sometimes staff seems to be under appreciated and under paid

Pros

I liked the fact that they were a reasonable commute for college students in the area (This VCA was in Newton, MA).

Cons

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.
