Pros

Experience gained, then move on...

Cons

New PDP process is a joke. Client service experience is a joke. 3 pillars is a joke. New CARE model is a joke, take a lesson from PetSmart what CARE should mean. There would be no improvement in Associate engagement if it wasn't for the team leaders in the hospital, not even the lead doctors. These team leaders acknowledge employees that are recognized, but when it comes to giving that employee a surprise like lunch, prize basket, or gift card, Field leadership doesn't want to reimburse them for the money they paid out. I've seen it done with my team leader, and my lead doctor said nothing to defend her. Field leadership has walked all over my team leader, making her feel less than adequate, always picking on her and she has made my team and hospital what it has become today. I've recently have thought about quitting because of the things I've seen. Hospitals are not equipped with the right materials our dental machine has broken many times, animals teeth are not cleaned properly, because of the broken equipment. Field leaders never recognize or appreciate the staff for doing a good job, they think the doctors are the ones who should get the recognition, meanwhile the staff does about 75% of the hard work. My leader made a great team and is now going to be handing all her hard work off to someone that knows nothing about Banfield, our clients or our hospital.

Pros

Great co-workers and competitive pay

Cons

The company is more concerned with signing pet owners up on Wellness Plans and making sure their doctors meet production goals than they are with pet health. The location I worked for actually started charging owners without a wellness plan a fee for blood draws, and x-rays that required two people to complete. From a safety standpoint all blood draws and x-rays, unless a pet is sedated should require two staff members to complete. This fee is not being assessed to owners who are on wellness plans. It really seems like they are just in it for the money and not the health and welfare of the animals they serve.
