Great Co-Workers, Horrible Management - Animal Aid MedVet Employee Review

Supportive coworkers, opportunities to learn, exposure to a variety of cases, and experience working in a busy veterinary environment

Work can be physically and emotionally demanding, staffing and scheduling can be challenging, and communication between teams could be improved

Benefits, Competitive Pay (although inconsistent over the years), good amount of PTO.

TOXIC work environment and culture: Flawed training system, rotate you to different departments for 2 weeks without assigned tasks, then put you on the floor within your department without confirming your learning skills from the checklist given to you. When you are not able to perform certain tasks within 90 days, they will let you go instead of trying to train you appropriately. There is very limited room for growth in some departments. Expectation is everyone is required to train regardless of title or salary therefore you are responsible for another employee's performance, time, and skills. Communication between leadership e.i. management and staff is unclear and lacking. There is a lack of respect, professionalism, and compassion. New management of some departments lack appropriate communication and very unapproachable. Micromanaging! High turnover rate in multiple departments such as ICU, SX, ER, and Front Desk. The doctors are just as disrespectful in some departments and will neglect communication with you altogether. It creates a steady environment of fear, anxiety, bullying, and depression for the staff. The lunch breaks are not guaranteed in multiple departments but you can get written up for coming in late or staying over your time. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE WORKING HERE, BUT IF YOU DO TREAD LIGHTLY AND CHOOSE YOUR DEPARTMENT CAREFULLY! IF THEY SAY CERTAIN DEPARTMENTS/DOCTORS/MANAGEMENT ARE TOXIC, BELIEVE THEM!!!
