Pros

Intelligent and hardworking staff (technicians and staff). Some veterinarians are very smart and have good technical skills.

Cons

All employees are overworked. Most doctors are recent graduates who are book smart, but not technically smart. Will put employees and pets lives at risk to “just get things done”. Very high turnover rate. Extremely unsafe nurse-to-patient ratios in the nursing department. Lack of staff. PTO denied due to lack of staff. Minimal upper management presence/assistance. Poor communication between management and staff. Minimal acknowledgement of staff (except a select few). Extremely high cost for the “actual” care given.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand the challenging demands in the veterinary profession and are committed to developing and maintaining a culture of wellbeing in our hospital. We are aware that our teams continue to be challenged by the increased workload that the past two years have brought and continue our focus on internal training opportunities along with strategic recruiting to attract the best and most skilled talent in our field. Providing the top patient care for all of our patients will always be a top priority for our organization. Cultivating an environment of compassion and empathy is what we strive for. We want to ensure our teams can navigate the challenging emergency and specialty veterinary medicine space and encourage employees to make their mental and physical health a priority. Resources available to employees include mental wellbeing apps, our Employee Assistance Program, and the creation of a well-being room. Utilizing PTO is always encouraged to help team members reset and recharge. Our local and regional leadership are here to support all caregivers and we welcome feedback. We encourage any concerned team members to reach out to their local HR Partner, Clinical Manager or Hospital Director for further discussion. We appreciate feedback as it helps us innovate and improve.

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.
