Pros

I learned quite a bit about merchandise, preventatives, and pet foods, as "lunch and learns" were a regular occurrence. Also, I enjoyed the opportunity to assist with kennel duties and bathing in order to earn holiday pay and extra hours when I wanted them.

Cons

To be fair, perhaps it was the particular women with whom I worked, however, management did little to nothing about the issues; if I did not willingly stay an extra 30 minutes to 2 hours, my co workers resented me and complained about me. I believe it was one of the most uncomfortable, unhealthy work environments I have ever experienced. Don't get me wrong, I am more than willing, and actually happy, to stay late and work long hours when necessary and as needed, but every night? To get all the cans facing forward and windows cleaned, ie, tasks we could complete if we simply arrived a half an hour early the next day? Like I said, once a week, ok that's to be expected, but it was every night.

Pros

One of CityVet's greatest strengths is its servant-minded leadership. Leaders are genuinely invested in supporting veterinarians and their teams, providing the resources and guidance needed to help them succeed. If you want to be part of the Hospital Support Team, you must believe in a collaborative, solution driven approach. There are meaningful opportunities for career growth across the organization. Many members of the support team began their careers working in CityVet hospitals, demonstrating the company's commitment to promoting from within and developing its people.

Cons

While CityVet offers significantly more clinical autonomy than many corporate veterinary organizations, it is not the same as being a sole practice owner. Decisions are made through a partnership model that balances individual clinic preferences with the company's overall brand standards and business strategy. If your goal is complete independence in every operational and business decision, this may not be the ideal practice model for you. Unlike many corporate veterinary organizations, CityVet empowers its clinics with a high degree of autonomy. Partner veterinarians are trusted to practice medicine in the way they believe is best for their patients and work collaboratively with leadership, rather than operating under a one-size-fits-all corporate model. This can be a challenge for support when trying to say "Yes" as much as we can without causing issues for other locations.
