Pros

When the uppers are happy it’s great. They do care about work/life balance and being competitive work wise between ERs. There is a lot to learn here and a lot of resources to improve yourself in your career no matter your position

Cons

Our hospital has had lack luster management for over a year—it’s viewed as underperforming but it’s built like a half hazard shack for a snowstorm. When it gets busy and there isn’t enough staff for patients to continuing being hospitalized they just keep letting them pile in. The doctors are young and so are a lot of the other staff and management so you lack the experience. For the most part I think that the attempt at being a client focused E-vet is good but you can’t always entertain everything as an emergency when it is not—broken nails should wait for hours, things should expect to wait, and answering phone calls when you have pets dying is unrealistic. I understand the goal but the problem is you can’t be all the things that they want to be at once and be kind to your staff and provide top notch care. It’s a flashy company but I don’t believe that it will truly last and I hope it doesn’t. At the end of the day it’s just money talking.

Pros

The only pro I fell into this place was having the open concept flooring.So clients could actually see what we were doing, and they weren't thinking we were just ignoring them

Cons

Constantly short-staffed, no compassion for their staff. I lost my father during covid.And I needed a little more time my manager at the time was amazing.But she was replaced while I was out by somebody else who had no compassion.It's very cult like i would definitely say that the management at the location I was at was terrible.That they replaced my original manager with all about the money, not really about the pets, as much as they drill it into your head, they say they are

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the time you spent at VEG. We’re happy our open concept design was a positive aspect of your experience, but we’re very sorry you felt unsupported during your time here, especially during such a difficult time in your life. Compassion and support for our VEGgies is incredibly important to us, so your experience with leadership, and staffing is not what we want for our teams. Thank you again for sharing your perspective; feedback like yours helps us continue to grow and improve.
