Pros

DoveLewis is riding on the coattails of its reputation as a leading teaching hospital. That shiny exterior has people from all over the country flocking to be a part of it. The DVMs, technicians, assistants, CSRs are all working to keep up the image because they actually care about the work being done at Dove, however, upper management does a poor job of supporting the people on the floor- Dove's bread and butter, so to speak. It's an unspoken rule to watch your back as an employee since management loves to fire people who stir the coals a bit too much.

Cons

The constant influx of new bodies (interns/externs, new hires) makes it difficult to have a tight crew and efficient flow to the floor. Less than competitive pay. Management does not communicate and lack of professionalism when it comes to dealing with employee issues is disheartening. Forever understaffed.

Pros

Education and quality on floor staff- that’s literally it

Cons

Management is a joke. One person in particular is allowed to do whatever they please and will never have to take accountability. For way too many years, she has continued to fire or write up people who question her or try to stand up for themselves. MULTIPLE employees have built cases against her with EVIDENCE and have presenting it to management- immediately leading to excuses for this manager and somehow a write up or termination for the employee. Fired someone who had a health issue that caused them to be five minutes late sometimes, fired someone who had a doctors note for experiencing an emergency on the ER floor and needing to leave, fired someone for calling out on a snow day when they felt unsafe (about 15 other people called out, no one else got fired), prevents growth for people who does kiss up to her. This place is a joke
