      Corporate and Regional Management questionable

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good employee discount Might be lucky to work at a decent individual hospital resulting in good coworker relationships

      Cons

      Minimal training provided from the corporate office so it's hit or miss whether the environment will be good. Terrible pay structure for staff and veterinarians. Veterinary pay structure conflicts with time off benefits. Poor time off benefits for all staff Policies and procedures inconsistent. Observed questionable unethical decisions made by regional and some hospital management. Failure to treat employees consistently and senior corporate management takes very little interest in field/hospital employees. Employee terminations have been due to personal dislike versus a business decision.

      Pros

      cannot list any because there aren't any

      Cons

      was promised would be treated as a "tenured" worker, i.e. vacation compensation etc, not true, continuing education not made available, peer elevated to supervisor position, when she clearly was favoring employees (her friends, hiring her cousin) upper managemat agreed not appropriate behavior but sided with her anyway, did not consider legitmate complaint on my part, probably a campaign to push out higher waged workers to get work done as cheaply as possible, they seem to have NO CONCERN FOR MAN OR BEAST, only care about the almighty dollar

      Pros

      middle management is cool. office space is nice.

      Cons

      this company make the employee pay most of the insurance premium! and the coverage is horrible. if you get sick you will pay 10,000 dollars out of your pocket because the policy covers barely anything. it's a joke! and they only have 10 holidays per year. and do not allow IT people to work from home. that is STUPID.
