You get to work with animals on a day to day basis and learn some really cool and interesting things about animals. If you work at an emergency hospital theres is a lot that can be learned.

Cons

Management in hospitals is laking respectability, There is no room for career advancement

Pros

You can offer clients a free first exam. There are savings plans for staff.

Cons

If a staff member or client owes money, it gets harder to pay it off as a service charge is imposed, therefore punishing people who are least able to afford it. Numerous emails and postcards are sent out for animals to get vaccines that are not necessary or that that pet has never received or is too old or infirm to receive. Clients become alarmed that they are not doing enough, which is not true. The hold music and voice is awful. Hill's and Royal Canin are really pushed on clients.
