Small animal, exotics, free care to wildlife, opportunities to work with zoo animals. Internal promotions to change all management has made the work environment very positive. Boarding facilities. Opportunity for certifying for internal crematory.
Cons
Pay rate less than expected for experience level. Corporate in California has increased prices every year that is causing all of my friends and family to change vets. With our rural area and low average income, pets are getting euthanized instead of having testing and treatment. Staff should have more discounts for employee pets.
Great quality of medicine. Great doctors. Team members that genuinely care about each other. Management is very fair about approving time off requests.
Cons
Pay could definitely be better. Inconsistent scheduling. If you don't speak up, you'll get the short end of the stick when scheduled and they will burn you out. Not enough organized training, especially for new employees, even though they have meetings all the time.
