CityVet does a great job keeping veterinarians at the center of decision making. Leadership is accessible, clinical autonomy is respected, and there are meaningful opportunities for growth and ownership for those interested in building a long term career. The culture is collaborative, and I've found people genuinely want each other to succeed.
Cons
Like any growing organization, change happens quickly and priorities can evolve as the company scales. Growth can create additional complexity, but leadership is generally receptive to feedback and focused on continuous improvement.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're grateful to hear that you've experienced the collaborative culture, clinical autonomy, and leadership accessibility that are so important to us. As we continue to grow, we're committed to listening, learning, and investing in our people while keeping veterinarians at the center of what we do.
One of CityVet's greatest strengths is its servant-minded leadership. Leaders are genuinely invested in supporting veterinarians and their teams, providing the resources and guidance needed to help them succeed. If you want to be part of the Hospital Support Team, you must believe in a collaborative, solution driven approach.
There are meaningful opportunities for career growth across the organization. Many members of the support team began their careers working in CityVet hospitals, demonstrating the company's commitment to promoting from within and developing its people.
Cons
While CityVet offers significantly more clinical autonomy than many corporate veterinary organizations, it is not the same as being a sole practice owner. Decisions are made through a partnership model that balances individual clinic preferences with the company's overall brand standards and business strategy. If your goal is complete independence in every operational and business decision, this may not be the ideal practice model for you.
Unlike many corporate veterinary organizations, CityVet empowers its clinics with a high degree of autonomy. Partner veterinarians are trusted to practice medicine in the way they believe is best for their patients and work collaboratively with leadership, rather than operating under a one-size-fits-all corporate model. This can be a challenge for support when trying to say "Yes" as much as we can without causing issues for other locations.
CityVet is a company that genuinely invests in its people and culture. The leadership team is approachable, transparent, and committed to growth without losing sight of what makes the organization special. There is a strong sense of purpose behind the work, and employees are given opportunities to contribute, grow professionally, and make an impact. The collaborative environment, focus on quality medicine, and commitment to supporting both teams and clients make it a rewarding place to work.
Cons
Like any rapidly growing organization, there are times when processes, systems, and communication need to evolve to keep pace with the business. Growth can create shifting priorities and occasional ambiguity, which may be challenging for employees who prefer a highly structured environment. Teams are often moving quickly, so adaptability is important.
