"I've worked at the Cummings School for over 10 years. It's one of the busiest veterinary hospitals in the country. It is a good environment for work with an academic environment. However, there is an anti-technology mindset which can be tough for IT morale. Not a lot of room for growth either, as the company has moved to external vendors for their systems."
