Banfield, The Pet Hospital Employer Reviews

management is horrible...
co-workers not trust worthy
raises not so good
many co-workers dont take job serious

Go into work, prep pet's for surgery, work on drop off's, see appts, answer phones, check people in/out, work on notes, read lab results.

When working with the company I had many online training days which helped prep me for my soon to be part in running the front desk. I got to know the customers very well, even by name when I saw their pet and their face. The management team was out of this world amazing, they had such great communication skills. Our team of co-workers was the best – more...  team I had ever worked with in my life. Everyone knew how to work with other personalities and how to handle each other, but when it came down to the long run, everyone was a team. If someone needed something and couldn't get it at the time (like a medical tool) then someone would kindly get it for them to help. The hardest part of my job was saying goodbye due to getting a better job offer with a higer pay and more hours. I loved banfield, It was like my second home. I enjoyed most about my job was making all the memories I did and everything that I had learned to take with me to a new job. – less

An enjoyable place to work if you are ok with evenings and weekends.

Great place to work. Lots of learning and growth opportunities.

Money, money, money. That is the only concern of this clinic. I have worked in veterinary medicine for many years and have really feared losing patients due to lack of supplies, improper scheduling, and inadequate equipment.

I greatly enjoyed learning new skills and challenging myself to work faster but after months of the grind with no improvements (I somewhat disagree but management saw little to no improvements). With unproductive conversations I was unable to meet their standards and left feeling quite frustrated but overall grateful for the opportunity.

Honestly 100% love working there! FAmily enviroment and the DVM's are in it to make sure the pets are healthy!

During my time with Banfield I was able to get a lot of experience and it helped me to advance to bigger and better things down the road.

u dont wanna know. it was not the best. some of the coworkers were great and most were more than horrible. Bosses always suck and they made you come to meetings after working long 12-14 hr shifts.

This organization's culture is tainted. It may appear they love the pets and are interested in the well being of the staff. They are more concerned about how much money they can charge each client, they hire new graduate doctors that have no experience and do not have the best skills to practice medicine. You would think having employed countless vets – more...  they would have great benefits but they are not. You may be paying a lot out of pocket for any medical expenses you have. – less

The culture of this corporation is produce, produce, produce. Don't fall for the "quality of care" talk you will get at first. It boils down to how much you can produce each day, how much you were able to charge each client (Average Patient Cost), and how fast you work. Never see any interest in patient outcomes or client satisfaction surveys. Can easy – more...  turn a DVM into a 'used car salesman' (no offense). Just really disheartening to feel like the career you love has been reduced to this. No wonder most clients leave after 2.3 years - as soon as anything serious happens the model doesn't allow for extra time and effort to be allotted. Clients leave to find more dedicated staff and system. – less

Management always had their favorites, no matter what you did it was not right. Just her "ROCK". Was promised alot more and recieved ALOT less. Love working with the families and pets.

A great place to work for those who love animals and people. Unfair treatment of employees from field management.

checked pets in and out of hospital and kept records and made appointments and call reminders
