Pros

Benefits and uniform allowance are perks

Cons

New employee training and orientation needs much improvement. I have been evaluated 4 times in the 6 months I've worked here. I am expected to report to 2 supervisors. One of my supervisors doesn't speak to me unless I speak to her first. I have had maybe 2 conversations with her my entire employment. I do not feel I have been properly trained for my position. The only reason I have stayed is because of the phenomenal co workers who have stepped up to the plate to attempt to train me on their own. It is a supervisor's job to make sure their staff is properly trained. I have experienced 2 seperate instances where a pet was handled roughly by a doctor/staff and someone was seriously bitten. Not only is this bad for the person who was bit it creates lasting trauma to that pet. Both were cases where we knew pet was a caution and animal was not restrained properly or humanely.

Thanks for reaching out. I'm glad you brought up these issues. I'll flag them to our new Regional Hospital Director in the NE Ohio Regional so she can follow up with the team at Akron. It sounds like you're on the clinical team versus the front desk, but it's a smaller hospital so we'll circle back with the whole team if needed.

Pros

The staff at the Commerce MedVet have been very supportive and helpful with teaching me the skills I was previously lacking. I got my first feline jugular blood draw and I was also given great tips about IV catheter placement.

Cons

I have no cons, the staff are very welcoming and if you want to learn they want to teach.
