Pros

They pay pretty well, so that is why I've stayed as long as I have. The benefits are OK but not nearly as good as my previous job.

Cons

Focus is always on financial production. No way to work with peolpe to help them out. Staff and doctors treated like commodities. Not too cocerned about comptence, just someone that's going to work and not make trouble. Mgmt never tells us anything which is stressful in bad economic times.

Pros

Opportunities to learn more through workshops, generous employee discount for their personal pet's care, free boarding, staff meetings to keep you updated and allowing you to vent.

Cons

Forcing you to waste tons of paper on reports! There is such a paper trail on every little stinking thing that it makes it difficult, if not impossible, to stick to the essentials. You even have to check off every little job detail you perform, every call you make and receive, there is a form for everything!
