Medivet Reviews

> Working conditions for some teams at support centre are dire, bordering on if not 100% illegal but certainly immoral. Dust filling the corridors and literally caking the desk / cups of drink in dust, drilling and sawing so loud you'd need to literally shout to be heard by the person next to you. Debris falling through holes being hammered in the wall of a corridor employees are literally walking through. > Employee of the Month (which offers points to exchange for rewards) is a popularity contest. Winners are often nominated by the people who decide the overall winner or work closesly with them. I've seen many dedicated and incredibly hard working people get nominated several times and never win. > Benefit scheme isn't particularly good I feel and seems quite token. Small %'s off certain stores and non-transferrable and a bit arduous to get in the first place. Pension is legal minimum. > Redundencies across various areas in the country handled poorly and without consideration to the person behind the nurse's uniform. > Having worked for Medivet for a number of years and seeing it grow I have contact with people across the entire group and over the years moral seem's to have been getting lower to the point where it's quite possibly irretrievably low for a lot of staff. > Work / personal life balance is terrible for a lot of people, both in high positions where it's almost expected in this day and age but also in lower positions. > Rapid expansion of company has left several departments in the support centre woefully lacking in resources and underfunded. That's starting to improve finally but is still far away from where it should be. > Unfair division of responsibilities among the team. Most departments seem to have the lucky few people who get all the responsibilities and career progression oppurtunities but very much the lucky FEW. > Higher ups able to flaunt rules and policies for no reason other than their position within the company. One rule for most and one rule for them.

>Ridiculous long hours working 10 hour shifts most days >Constantly feel undervalued by management >Management care more about expanding and profits than supporting and caring for current practices and staff >Treat staff as sales reps pushing sales of healthcare plan to clients who don't want it and threaten disciplinary action if targets are not met! >Low pay for working damn hard at the maximum legal limit >The 1 vet 1 nurse approach to small practices leaves staff exhausted all day everyday >Refusal to listen to staff opinion and constantly refuse to compromise to make working environments better for staff >Head office constantly fire out demanding emails expecting things to be done when staff are exhausted and pushed to breaking point already. >Zero appreciation for the frontline staff who put their heart and soul into the care of their patients. >Any pathetic attempts at staff discount or rewards package are a joke and it's quite offensive how they think this is worth being offered. >You work hard for them for 4 years as a PCA and SVN and as soon as you qualify and become an RVN you are given no choice but to leave because they refuse to pay you the qualified wage you've earned. >To top it off they replace your experienced qualified self with a complete novice that can barely hold a dog let alone single handily run the practice every night!!!
