Overall I feel very supported. There are departments to help with everything from IT to HR to finance and more. Despite CityVet being a large, corporate company, the day to day life feels like a small clinic.
Cons
While there is talk of practicing how you want, there can be a slight bit of pushback if you want to practice in some ways that are different than how the rest of the clinics practice.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad to hear you feel supported both at the clinic level and through our home office teams. We also appreciate your honest feedback around clinic autonomy, systems, and continuing education opportunities as we continue growing and evolving.
Incredible culture and leadership. The environment is very supportive and the people truly care about helping each other succeed. Best place I've ever worked!
One of CityVet's greatest strengths is its servant-minded leadership. Leaders are genuinely invested in supporting veterinarians and their teams, providing the resources and guidance needed to help them succeed. If you want to be part of the Hospital Support Team, you must believe in a collaborative, solution driven approach.
There are meaningful opportunities for career growth across the organization. Many members of the support team began their careers working in CityVet hospitals, demonstrating the company's commitment to promoting from within and developing its people.
Cons
While CityVet offers significantly more clinical autonomy than many corporate veterinary organizations, it is not the same as being a sole practice owner. Decisions are made through a partnership model that balances individual clinic preferences with the company's overall brand standards and business strategy. If your goal is complete independence in every operational and business decision, this may not be the ideal practice model for you.
Unlike many corporate veterinary organizations, CityVet empowers its clinics with a high degree of autonomy. Partner veterinarians are trusted to practice medicine in the way they believe is best for their patients and work collaboratively with leadership, rather than operating under a one-size-fits-all corporate model. This can be a challenge for support when trying to say "Yes" as much as we can without causing issues for other locations.
