Pros

- Remote job - Solid benefits - Unlimited PTO - Fun marketing for pets

Cons

I worked at NVA for almost 3 years and the entire time was extremely toxic. Over the course of three years the pet resorts marketing team went through 5 managers, 1 director, and 4 marketing specialists (myself included). This team does not follow the company values at all and you will burnout extremely fast. Leadership has no accountability for when they mess up and will try to blame you for why they failed. They will not provide you with any support if you come to them with issues, they will simply tell you to figure it out and then blame you when your solution makes them look bad. The marketing team is now heading into it’s 3rd team restructuring which now averages to once per year. Team members are so burnt out they are literally ending the work day in tears from the stress. HR does nothing to help and they know this has been a problem for at least 5 years now. Truthfully, you can find a better job and company to work for. Save yourself the stress and work somewhere you will be appreciated.

Pros

Good benefits, decent salary, fair work life balance though may be clinic/region dependent, less restrictive and better culture as far as veterinary corporates go

Cons

Carrot and stick corporate management style. Revenue was very good when I started, and so the way we were treated by the higher ups was great. When the number of appointments and overall revenue dropped due to the economy and other situations outside our control, the micromanagement began. Though understaffed, we cannot hire anyone. Everyone is burning out. No cost of living adjustments or raises for anyone. The demands and the pressure continue to increase without acknowledgment of successes. It became clear very early on that upper management leaders have no experience in a clinic setting, as has often been my experience.
