VCA reviews

They let the individual sites dictate their staff and let them hire their friends into positions of authority.

You HAVE to advocate for your own training, opportunities will rarely be handed to you. Growth and learning opportunities seemed to correlate with how well you participate in non-work-related small talk or brown-nosing. Frequent gossiping about one another and clients, then switching up when the person came back into the treatment area was disheartening and almost a daily occurrence. People would really seem so genuine and friendly to one another and would turn right around and talk negatively about each other when with a different set of “teammates.” Quite catty and uncomfortable even just as a bystander. A select few assistants doing RVT or DVM-only tasks based off favoritism. Some employees nap or play computer games for literally hours of their shift because they’re *too qualified* to have side-work between cases, but very quick to rag on people who’d been working nonstop even in the slow periods. Difficult work environment with too much non-work-related determinants of success.
