Pros

Pay was competitive and benefits were good. 3 days of bereavement leave including for pets was great. Ability to bring my quiet well behaved dog to work with me was wonderful as I am single. Diversity in my hospital was pretty reflective of our community in terms of support staff, though not vets. A lot of the culture is good. Some of the best doctors and support staff I've ever worked with.

Cons

Tolerance for bullying by certain "favorite" staff members. Clique-y. Lack of clear communication regarding expectations (I am autistic - perhaps someone allistic would have struggled less but poor communication is poor communication). Did not respect my skill level or experience and only focused on what I need more experience with. Training and development started strong and then dropped off to nothing. Was told I was inconveniencing my team and they were growing to resent me because I suffered an injury on the job that required me to take medical leave.

Pros

Good benefits, wide spending budget for work attire, 3/12s

Cons

They preach and advertise benefits yet management is insanely micromanaging and dictating every decision despite following guild lines. It really depends on the day you catch them and if they are in a good mood or bad mood. They will target you if they do not think you fit into the mean girls group. They will encourage you to make a decision on a problem in the hospital that you were never given proper training for and then reprimand you for it. If you don’t drink the coolaid hard and fit in with the ‘groupies’ you will be pushed out. They fire people without proper proof and hr does nothing about it. They threaten employees to not talk about previous people that were fired. They advertise work life balance, but refuse to give you the time off if you can’t find coverage despite giving them months notice. And yes, they will decline pto last minute if they can’t find coverage. They will attempt to eliminate you if you push back on management or become a problem. They will not provide proper staff and when you have a lunch violation you are reprimanded. The medical director is super disrespectful to the technicians. They hire hospital managers that 0 experience in the field and allow them to make decisions on scheduling and coverage. The hospital manager, medical director and there newest short lead are the ultimate cons.
