      From family owned business to corporate entity

      Kennel assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Discount for vet services and food.

      Cons

      After being employed by the family business for 6 years the corporation took over and an incompetent employee was promoted to management. Favoritism by the new manager created a hostile work environment. As business decreased I was given janitorial instead of the position that I had been hired for. Time to move on.

      Unvalued CVT

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great co-workers at my particular clinic. It is a like a family with the exception of a few. Free Vaccines.

      Cons

      It's always about the money, not about appropriate staffing levels or doing what is right by the employees. It takes more than two technicians-even highly qualified ones- to keep two Dr.s moving. Production based medicine encourages Dr.s to run up client bills to meet their quotas, resulting in clients being "guilted" into doing unnecessary things. Highly qualified technicians are treated like kennel help with a distinct lack of respect for their experience or schooling. (Just because I don't have a DVM behind my name doesn't mean I don't know anything) On my way out, just waiting for the right opportunity.

      Poorly managed on the corporate level. Profit comes before employees

      Hospital manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Love my co-workers. They are the reason I stay.

      Cons

      Corporate Vice President makes decisions based solely on profit. No concern for time spent with the company or level of care provided by hospitals. Changes pay and bonus structures after they've already been earned so that you're no longer eligible. Demands profit margins that leave no way for employees to get full number of hours and still meet the company's numbers. They hurt the people who do the most work for them on the ground level. I would never choose this company to work for.
