      Pros

      -open concept ER, so owners see and understand when it gets busy -weekly snack ordering

      Cons

      -there can lots of drama, techs vs assistants -the kind of management you get really depends by the location -not really competitive pay, at least for my area compared to other ERs - no differentials -can be cult like, forced meetings every shift to discuss company manifesto

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're glad to hear that you appreciate the open concept ER as much as we do. We want every VEGgie to feel valued and fairly compensated. To that end, we look at our compensation program annually to ensure we’re equitable to employees and competitive within our market, and offer pay transparency as much as possible—even if not required by the state. We also do market studies to ensure our benefits are in line or better than the industry. If you have specific suggestions or concerns, please have a direct conversation with your manager, who will partner with our compensation department and your manager to address your feedback. We also appreciate your feedback on our culture—it’s true, VEG has a totally “not normal” culture! Our unique approach shapes everything we do, but we understand it’s not for everyone. If you ever feel something doesn’t align with the VEG way, we encourage you to also chat with your manager or reach out to your People Partner. You can also use our All Voices platform to share feedback anonymously.

      No, its not a Cult.

      Registered veterinary technician (rvt)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay $$ Off 4 days a week (3/ 12 hr shifts only required) Sometimes no weekends are required Holiday pay Referral program Best CE allowance; nearly unlimited Pays separate stipend for CE travel 10 weeks of full pay of maternity/paternity leave COVID illness pay Family bereavement pay Pet bereavement pay Volunteer day pay "VEGolution day" Allows staff members to take naps if all work is complete and no pending OPs. Hammocks in exam rooms and a private meditation room with comfy couches/ chairs/ blankets. Room for growth for lower-level nursing team members Established and clearly defined nursing levels 1-4, VTS (level 5) with an online program to follow. Pays upfront for assistants to get credentialed (RVT/LVT/CVT) through Penn Foster, reimbursement if gone through outside/physical credentialing vet tech colleges. Once a credentialed technician, you get a 5k bonus (as of 2022)

      Cons

      Insurance/Benefits are average & could be better considering the size of VEG. Underutilization of nursing team members due to many entry-level doctors, and lots of RVTs being used and treated like assistants. Too many employees on the floor at one time on some shifts No hierarchy established despite what VEG promotes by their role descriptions Hard to get 40 hours and/or any overtime, average hours are 36hr/per week Forces working with others you don't exactly get along well with Required to rotate/change your schedule every 2 months, however, if you prefer overnights, you aren't required to rotate. Sticks to ER only and avoids critical care cases Earn as-you-go PTO Small scrub allowance doesn't cover much when the required VEG embroidery is $60 per scrub set additionally to the cost of the scrubs. No annual performance pay raise, only gave a general $0.99 to every employee.

      Pros

      Bought into their lies and found out the hard way

      Cons

      Management. They have decided to go corporate. They will lie back stab. Working 14 hours isn’t good enough for them. They chose profits over people and pets. The law suits say it all.
