      Pros

      Day to day growth and education is steps above others, with the specialists and high standards of care, everyday we learn something new and beneficial Great staff to work with! ER is always busy, never a boring day!

      Cons

      I suppose work life balance can play a role, however having been in ER medicine for over ten years, I am used to it! I try to emphasize to my staff that its important and they follow through. We have struggled with staffing issue throughout the year but it has improved!

      Good but does needs some work

      Pros

      The benefits package is something that everyone loves, Health insurance, PTO, pet benefits just to name a few. The work experience is extraordinary and being able to use the skills that you have been taught. The Doctors are excellent at their jobs and the willingness of some Doctors to teach what they know to the RVT's and Animal Aides.

      Cons

      We are understaffed and can't seem to get and KEEP good people. Part of the reason for lack of keeping people is the pay isn't competitive to keep them in the ER or nursing department compared to other positions where you don't need a degree. Trying to get PTO and getting a response back from your manager with questions is like pulling teeth sometimes. PTO scheduling needs some work, there were some cases where two people in the same shift would both have the same whole week off, but it seems that only one person per shift can have one day off. Some of the staff can have off-putting attitudes until you "prove yourself" to them which can be taken as annoyance and lack of acknowledgment to the new employee.

      I appreciate your review. PTO is something that we are looking at this year, but it sounds like the bigger problem you are facing is being able to take the time off you have. I know we have staffing challenges and our broader industry. However, it's also really important, typically for those of you in clinical settings, to make sure you have time to refresh and recharge. I'm not sure what hospital you work at, but please make sure you are raising or concerns to your hospital director and/or your HR partner. Additionally, within the next few weeks we will be launching our first quarterly employee survey. It is being run by an outside survey research firm, and no one at MedVet, including me, will be able to tell who said what or even who responded. I encourage your candid feedback. Thanks!

      Family orientated, employee driven and promote employee education

      Pros

      MedVet is overall a family oriented and employee driven veterinary hospital. It seems like management really does want to hear feedback from employees as well as provide great patient service. Realistically, it's a difficult field and there are tech and vet shortages. They try to get creative to improve this for employees but it is a slow process. I feel as an employee that our local management does listen and look to improve the work-life balance of the employees and take employee feedback to improve the overall hospital culture. We get the benefit of doing what is best for our individual hospital as well as having other hospitals to reach out to when problems arise to help us troubleshoot and find solutions. There is a huge effort to provide employee training and CE's which isn't common in our community but is appreciated from interns to assistants to RVTs. Our hospital is big on fully utilizing RVTs, which is makes me happy as an employee seeing clinics that don't always allow RVTs to utilize the skills and education we've worked for.

      Cons

      It often feels as if we are all spread thin across our hospital both on clinically and in management, especially given the shortages in the veterinary field. It's not a problem easily resolved but continuing to look for ways to improve it is important.

      Thank you so much for your comments. I'm glad to hear that you feel supported in your continued professional development. I was able to spend some time in the ER at the Worthington Hospital, and was incredibly impressed with the skill level, communication, and professionalism of our technicians. Thank you for all you do. The shortage in our industry is a challenge, and we welcome your referrals!
