Working at Banfield Pet Hospital in Chicago, IL: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Chicago, IL Area

"Banfield, as a whole, does not respect their employees. Any previous experience an employee has isn't taken seriously as the training programs are directed towards any random person coming in. Corporate cares more about making money than they do about caring for clients and patients. Employees of Banfield are expected to devote their entire lives to the company and very little free time is available to staff outside of work. Some hospitals are horrendously understaffed, corporate does absolutely nothing to help those hospitals. Banfield would rather sacrifice proper animal care/services and employee well-being in order to allow for a bigger profit. Communication is nonexistent. Monthly staff meetings are pointless and even more free time is taken from employees. The company is inconsistent and money hungry."
