Pros

My team and the bond we have with each other. The clients you get to build relationships with on a daily basis The patients you get to help.

Cons

Wages and Benefits for all positions are very poor. Most team members have to have a 2nd job. Even I as a hospital manager I have a 2nd job. Field leadership is manipulative and unsupportive. Does not care about the teams in the hospital. Doctors allowed to behave badly. Inexperienced field leadership lacking business knowledge. Unwilling to support the local teams. This has become more evident during COVID. It is really easy to sit on your couch at home and pass judgment on others when you have not left your home to visit a hospital in since March.

Pros

This company offers many opportunities for doctors and techs to grow in their careers. They provide tons of support and they've been making HUGE changes to veterinary medicine on a whole. I have never known another company to offer so many benefits and perks for staff (especially techs), and they're even making lots of effort to invest in the veterinary receptionists-the front line associates of the hospital. They're also making great strides to acknowledge some of the feedback we've had for many years. They're savvy and smart, making business decisions that build on a company that will be around a long time (and has.)

Cons

There have been times where transparency and communication are lacking, and sometimes to the point where hospital-level employees feel left out or unheard. Some bigger topics like onboarding and navigating what support comes from where could be more clear. It feels like they've been fusing on new concepts/policies/features to the company, making it feel like a clunky machine rather than building something new and streamlined. Maybe it's in the works, but how do we know down here?
