Pros
The pay has gone up quite a bit so it's actually above average than the area. The pet discounts are pretty good for full time employment and decent for part time employment.
Cons
The management is very controlling of everything. I'd like to say it's just a single person, but I've heard the same problems from the other hospital in the area that is also a VCA. People don't stay employed here very long because of how long it takes to advance in your career if at all. I've seen employees remain employed for almost a year and still not be allowed to learn how to draw blood or give injections. If you're actually looking to move along with your career it can be hard if you're not the hospital managers favorite. The team isn't allowed to train only the hospital manager is because she thinks the rest of us are apparently incompetent fools and only she can do it right. It can take what feels like a century to get anything done because half the team isn't allowed to do the procedures required for the room. You'll be waiting a century or so to be allowed to draw blood even if you have prior experience is the short gist of it.
