Pros

I've been working at Petfolk for about a year now, and I have to say it's been an incredibly rewarding experience. As a veterinary-care startup, Petfolk is at the forefront of innovation in the industry, and it's exciting to be a part of a company that's growing so quickly. One of the things I appreciate most about Petfolk is the positive work environment and flat hierarchy. The company culture is one of collaboration and teamwork, and my colleagues are some of the most supportive and talented people I've ever worked with. We work hard and it can be a grind at times, but I know our contributions are making a difference. In particular, I have to give a shoutout to our CEO, Mike. He is an incredibly smart and savvy leader who knows how to bring out the best in people. I have the privilege of working directly with him, and I'm constantly impressed by his strategic thinking and leadership. He also does an amazing job of encouraging differing opinions and motivating team members to speak up, no matter their rank or title. He truly cares about the success of each and every employee. Overall, I can honestly say that I love my job at Petfolk. If you're looking for a dynamic and exciting company with a fun culture and leadership team, I highly recommend checking it out.

Cons

Working at a startup can be stressful. You are consistently asked to step outside your comfort zone and punch above your weight. This can lead to long hours at times, but I've found it incredibly rewarding.

Pros

I’ve worked in HR in organizations that have grown through acquisitions, and one thing I’ve always seen is how hard it can be to maintain a consistent culture when you’re integrating lots of different legacy practices. One of the things I really appreciate about Petfolk is that our de novo model allows us to build our culture intentionally from the ground up. When we open a new Pet Care Center, we’re bringing in teams that are aligned around the same values and way of working from day one. I also really appreciate that we’re a technology-forward veterinary company. We’re constantly thinking about how technology can support better workflows, better communication, and ultimately better care for pets and a better experience for the teams providing that care. Another thing that stands out is that we are very metrics-driven. In veterinary medicine there can sometimes be hesitation around data, but here it’s used in a way that supports better decision-making and helps teams focus on providing the best medicine possible.

Cons

Because of our growth, the environment is fast-paced. Not everything is fully built yet, and sometimes we’re figuring things out as we grow. For people who prefer a very structured, long-established organization, that may feel challenging. But for people who enjoy building and improving things, it’s actually one of the most rewarding parts of working here.
