Pros

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.

Pros

VCA Countryside Animal Hospital of Hamburg is an incredibly supportive and team‑oriented workplace. The doctors and support staff are compassionate, skilled, and genuinely committed to patient care. As a Hospital Manager, I’ve had the opportunity to lead a motivated team, strengthen hospital operations, and contribute to a positive culture. What truly stands out is how hard management works to make the hospital an enjoyable place to be. We regularly incorporate fun activities, theme days, celebrations, and small morale‑boosters to help the team de‑stress and stay connected. Whether it's staff appreciation treats, team lunches, holiday competitions, or light‑hearted moments built into busy days, there’s constant effort to keep the workplace uplifting and enjoyable. Those small touches go a long way in a fast‑paced veterinary environment. VCA also offers strong corporate support, great training programs, and continuing education opportunities, which make professional growth accessible and encouraged.

Cons

Like any fast‑paced veterinary hospital, the workload can be demanding at times, but the team works well together and supports one another when things get busy.
