Pros

Great patient care, high quality medical provider to animals. Brilliant doctors and specialty and emergency care.

Cons

Management does not know anything about the day-to-day tasks of their staff. No raises even for 100% reviews. Working nights, weekends, holidays mandatory. Do not recognize, acknowledge or reward good work over poor work. Lowest morale and employee satisfaction I've ever experienced. Miserable staff, aloof management, rude and unhelpful, uneducated upper management.
