Working at National Veterinary Associates

Not really NVA's accolade to receive, but my team is wonderful. When hounded enough, the company will provide good equipment.

The amount of pay each team member in a hospital makes is a joke. Front line members - doctors, techs, CSRs - who are putting in more work than anyone at corporation level and of course are being paid in scraps comparatively. Constantly told by management that "we aren't hiring more staff" despite obviously being burnt out and short staffed for the amount of work being crammed into one day. Furthermore, it appears management has adopted a watering-down technique when referring to abusive client behavior, where instead of calling it abusive, they call it "being sassy." Not beating the toxic management allegations in that way. I, as one of the frontline workers mentioned above, have stuck up for my team more genuinely and vehemently than the manager ever could.

Working with animals

Nothing - their two-faced nature preaches care for the team but their actions portray motifs that lie in the "maximize profit" margins.

Pay your employees more. Plain and simple. You have the money.

Bringing my skills and determination to the table and working as hard as I believe I am worth.

Middling to low, but NVA has the power to pay above the industry average. There is simply no excuse for capping our pay due to some meaningless industry standard.

Shallow, but present.

Working with my team (not NVA - the ground team in clinic) to solve problems throughout the day.

The good team at my clinic.

They tell you keep running your business just the way you are. They take over every business system you have. And when their system doesn’t work it’s your problem.

Paid vacation, discount for my animals.

The hospital team at my location was amazing, practicing excellent medicine and supporting a great culture.

The management from NVA was not great- all about the numbers, and poor benefit offerings for such a large company. Also no annual reviews.

Working with other people that truly love helping pets and their families.

Connection to coworkers, and the pets and the clients you get to meet along the way. Working and the education from the doctors

Could have chosen better insurance for employees
