Pros

Got a lot of great experience and was able to make good connections. Very flexible with my school schedule as I was also taking a full course load while working there. I worked in the ER/ICU which allowed for flexibility. However, I did find out later that a coworker with the same job title was being paid $2.50 an hour more than me which I was not happy about. For reference, I made $15/hour.

Cons

The time when I worked at this specific MedVet location was early in the pandemic, and the hospital had recently opened. A little disorganized but that was likely due to the current circumstances of the pandemic and the recent opening.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and experience working at MedVet. Our organization is a teaching hospital and, as you mentioned, we love to give vet students, pre-vet students, and vet tech students the opportunity to work at MedVet and gain hands-on ER and Specialty exposure while also being in school. Additionally, the last few years 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 making adjustments 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 employee as well as resources and support from MedVet. 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.
