Pros

I have made some friends

Cons

Increasing the prices constantly, or finding new things to charge for Terrible pay Veterinary medicine in general is already massively draining, both emotionally and physically. VCA uses their employees to make them as much money as possible, then takes all the profit while paying minimum wage The busy pace of the hospital made me unable to take my 10 minute breaks. I'm not saying VCA forced me to not take my breaks. That is on me to make that decision. But I absolutely wasn't the only one who just never had the time to take a break.

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?
