Pros

Experience with animals that could teach you a lot. You can use everything you learn inside of work on the outside and apply it to the pets of your friends and family

Cons

Horrible management, VCA greed, VCA benefits are trash, yet again poorly managed, Stupid training videos, Stupid meetings, not enough pay for what you learn and do.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits, that's pretty much it.

Cons

Upper management thinks so highly of themselves they fail to remember they are also human beings. They expect you to do tasks that they simply don't want to do, expecting you to drop anything your doing at the drop of a hat. Deppressing environment.

Pros

good pet discount although prices are high to begin with locations everywhere good if moving you can transfer to another location until you get to know the area and hopefully find something better and trust me it shouldn't be hard to find

Cons

very under paid never a consistent schedule, changes day to day week to week get sent home if there's no appts bc they cant loose money have to stay late other times-like an hour or two late get called right before coming in saying don't come in today its to dead get called before shifts saying call back at 12 to see when to come in the 3 to see when to come in basically your entire day turns to on call status cut hours frequently and when they send people home then appts book up and we are very very understaffed SO MUCH FAVORTISM - only if your go out and drink and are friends with management do you get any appreciation/ first say in the scheduling say they have no money for raises or anything but give vets giftc ards for high performance each month/ always redoing the hospital in some way randomly extend hours/ days open with hardly any notice to employees cut hours to 28-36 for full time and never let you have overtime even when understaffed NO ROOM FOR GROWTH
