      Not much different than most other hospitals in the area.

      Pros

      job security working for a large corp, pet benefits, decent health insurance, multiple job opportunities in other locations,

      Cons

      management that doesn't listen, and is non-complaint with its own rules and regulations, no raises or performance reviews for years at a time, will work employees until they drop with no care about work/life balance.

      In the beginning, it was a great experience but I soon realized I was just another number

      Pros

      VCA general practitioner hospitals are a great place to learn the basic principles to be a competent veterinary assistant/technician. The benefits are also good and they have generous employee pet care discounts.

      Cons

      There is very little opportunity for growth and the salary is poor. There is a high turn over rate in these hospitals because the staff soon realizes that they are not valued as an employee but just another worker that can be easily replaced, and possibly for less money. It's almost impossible to evoke change within VCA hospitals because the managers and chief of staff always have to answer to the next highest person on the ladder.
