Pluspunten

Gives a very structured environment for a new manager.

Minpunten

Poor communication between home office and hospitals, and the corporate support staff is nearly uniformly abysmal. Large portions of the workday are spent following up on A/P, vendor relations, and other tasks performed poorly by home office staff. It was not atypical to have vendors deny services for nonpayment on accounts three to five months overdue. It's hard to run a hospital when you can't order medical supplies. As a publically owned company, maximization of profit takes a front seat to quality of medicine. Not that you can't find good doctors within the system, but constraints on staffing and budget make it difficult to take care of clients and patients as well as one would like.

Pluspunten

This company offers many opportunities for doctors and techs to grow in their careers. They provide tons of support and they've been making HUGE changes to veterinary medicine on a whole. I have never known another company to offer so many benefits and perks for staff (especially techs), and they're even making lots of effort to invest in the veterinary receptionists-the front line associates of the hospital. They're also making great strides to acknowledge some of the feedback we've had for many years. They're savvy and smart, making business decisions that build on a company that will be around a long time (and has.)

Minpunten

There have been times where transparency and communication are lacking, and sometimes to the point where hospital-level employees feel left out or unheard. Some bigger topics like onboarding and navigating what support comes from where could be more clear. It feels like they've been fusing on new concepts/policies/features to the company, making it feel like a clunky machine rather than building something new and streamlined. Maybe it's in the works, but how do we know down here?
