Pros

VCA itself seems like a good company to work for, good benefits, competitive pay, free CE. I really loved most of my coworkers and I'm sad they are still at a place that is bad for their mental health.

Cons

At the hospital level it is toxic. Doctors are allowed to disrespect support staff, verbally and physically. Management does not manage and will often lie or go back on what they've said (record everything or get everything in writing!). Bullying is encouraged by certain practice managers. Long hours and made to feel like you're not a team player if you don't work overtime/pick up shifts in other departments. Absolutely no work/life balance.
