Pros

You need a job and nothing else is working out? …go for it. But learn and get what you can for as short a time as you can…and GET OUT! Don’t get sucked in the Antech/VCA culture.

Cons

Expensive health care. More work; lesser pay. Too much to hope for employee appreciation. Hard workers either gets burned out or becomes scape goats. Not much of any training. You have to practically teach yourself. Accountability for all…none for management. Errors and problems (which is rampant) are fixed by simply firing employees instead of proper training. No employee retention program.

Advice to Senior Management

Take a moment to appreciate your employees and provide them the tools they need to succeed. Don’t just leave them high and dry to fend for themselves; your setting them up for failure. All while management, corporate especially pads their wallets with profits. Go check insider trading at WOOF.
