Pros

Decent pay for fresh graduates. Free soft drinks for those unconcerned about their health. Most employees are very friendly. They do have special company events.

Cons

No growth or opportunities. High turnover because people eventually quit or get fired because of poor management. Horrible management because all the smart people leave, and the less intelligent ones stay to get promoted. That's why you'll see wash-ups (law students who couldn't pass the bar, 30+ year olds w/o CPAs or MBAs) as your supervisors.

Pros

Small animal, exotics, free care to wildlife, opportunities to work with zoo animals. Internal promotions to change all management has made the work environment very positive. Boarding facilities. Opportunity for certifying for internal crematory.

Cons

Pay rate less than expected for experience level. Corporate in California has increased prices every year that is causing all of my friends and family to change vets. With our rural area and low average income, pets are getting euthanized instead of having testing and treatment. Staff should have more discounts for employee pets.

Pros

Great quality of medicine. Great doctors. Team members that genuinely care about each other. Management is very fair about approving time off requests.

Cons

Pay could definitely be better. Inconsistent scheduling. If you don't speak up, you'll get the short end of the stick when scheduled and they will burn you out. Not enough organized training, especially for new employees, even though they have meetings all the time.
