Pros

Great place to learn and see a variety of health issues and complications.

Cons

Thrown to the wolves most of the time after training. Pay is lack luster. Not willing to negotiate schedules, especially when it comes to school. Have to work a weekend day, and 4/6 holidays. Large caseloads with short staffing.

Thank you for your review. MedVet takes training and onboarding seriously and we will continue to invest significant time and resources in order to ensure all new caregivers are trained thoroughly and equipped for success. Although training periods vary depending on each situation, standard training for full time team members is a minimum of 4-6 weeks and can always be extended when needed. MedVet is committed to serving our Referral Partners and community 24/7 and we recognize that this requires mindfulness around scheduling and how we prioritize our team members’ needed time to relax with our continued needs on those less-preferred days and shifts. We strive to always foster an environment that is positive, teamwork-oriented, and compassionate. Additionally, the past year a lot of work and effort has been put into analyzing job descriptions, role assignment, and fair pay within each geographic area. We are constantly re-evaluating these items and adjusting where needed. Every employee has the opportunity to discuss career goals with managers and obtain their help working through a plan that involves both work by the team member as well as resources and support from MedVet. We understand that our environment is fast paced and growing. We are actively recruiting and hiring for new team members to bring some lift to our amazing teams. We also have some really great benefits to help navigate stress and support your mental and physical health. We encourage you to connect with your local HR Partner, Clinical Manager or Hospital Director to discuss your concerns further as we would love to partner with you to find solutions. Thank you for sharing your voice.

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.
