Pros
Annual raises and small bonus.
Decent program to continue education.
Cons
PTO is used for everything including holidays and hurricane closures. Their program for what is an excused and unexcused absence is weird and difficult to follow.
The department I worked in is new. Even still after 2 years of existence they should have a better grasp of how to run the dept and treat people.
I have been in the field for over 15 years and have never dealt with the level of lies, gaslighting, and disrespect from a program director in my life. She will literally interrupt you answering a question to tell you you're wrong because she doesn't like your answer. Even people that do not work for her but have to liason with her have had to shout over her to stop talking and let them finish.
They will decide 2 months after something happened to suddenly write up a person and make up a reason why it is a problem that now needs discipline.
They also play favorites. If you are on the vet team you can do no wrongevrn when you are clearly the problem. Husbandry is always the scapegoat.
