Pros

Truly nothing other than the clients and their pets. Some of my coworkers were great, but they left too because the place was an actual dumpster fire.

Cons

Crap pay, corporate greed, unrealistic appointment time slots, favoritism. Adding that a patient died from untrained and under managed staff and time constraints put on doctors. Truly a horrible experience.
