Pros

you get a discount if you take your pet to a vca hospital. most of the people are great to work with.

Cons

management needs to manage... not have other employees do the dirty work trying to find dirt to prove a supervisor was wrong. management micro manages the supervisors and gives too much work/projects. all new projects and cross training is being required even when we are very understaffed. working long hours in the dept and wondering when will admin work will get done....even after working 12hr shift every day. management doesn't care how many hours any of the supervisors work they just want answers and the end result. no life because you are at work half the day and once you get home all you have time to do it eat, sleep and come right back to work.

Pros

Nice facilities, nice people, no problems with paycheck (always came in on time and never bounced)

Cons

Entry level job working as specimen processing in a veterinary lab. Always busy and the work isn't hard but it's tedious.

Pros

The only good thing about VCA is the employee discount for services for your own pet.

Cons

Low pay compared to the same jobs in the industry, management overworks technicians and receptionists with no acknowledgement or recognition. At the new employee orientation they spout off about how much they care about their employees and the animals, yet when you go to work in the clinic there seems to be only one thing in mind: money. Even when short staffed and overworked, animals are crammed into the clinics, resulting in poor care for the animals. Any concerns voiced to management are dismissed and was told that I would just have to get used to the stress of the job.
