"It was a great dynamic place to work, fast paced but very easily adaptable. People were always friendly and the environment was welcoming. It was always easy learning new things here because everyone was willing to teach and help. Overall great experience."

"Poor management, pay and toxic environment. I would not recommend to any of my friends and family to work or take their companions here for veterinary care. Absolutely not. I cannot believe this place hasn’t been exposed yet. During my interview i was surrounded by 5 nurses asking me questions feeling harassed and embarrassed. So unprofessional to who I answer to as my hire up. The unprofessionalism of that incident was a red flag and the hiring manager was smirking the who time. Clique groups and back stabbing between nurses and since the hiring manager did not seem to help in any way who do you go to. Such a bad place to work. You cannot say details because you will get denied review."
