Pros

They sure like to wine and dine their managers and provide copious amounts of swag at corporate events.

Cons

Management is where the pampering stops. I noticed that no expense was spared at corporate events that I had to attend, but at the same time we weren't allowed to give our employees raises, basic in clinic needs, etc. Rug service, cleaners were cancelled and my overworked staff was forced to do it all (but not get OT!). Injured employees were strategically sidelined or forced out as 'legal risks'. Corp doesn't care one iota for the overworked boots on the ground. Vacation pay was eliminated from thousands of employees payroll at the end of the year and not paid out unless it was 'noticed' by the employee. Retention bonuses were quietly left unpaid or reasoned away as invalid. I quit once I realized I couldn't be the manager I wanted to be for my employees.

Pros

Good benefits, decent salary, fair work life balance though may be clinic/region dependent, less restrictive and better culture as far as veterinary corporates go

Cons

Carrot and stick corporate management style. Revenue was very good when I started, and so the way we were treated by the higher ups was great. When the number of appointments and overall revenue dropped due to the economy and other situations outside our control, the micromanagement began. Though understaffed, we cannot hire anyone. Everyone is burning out. No cost of living adjustments or raises for anyone. The demands and the pressure continue to increase without acknowledgment of successes. It became clear very early on that upper management leaders have no experience in a clinic setting, as has often been my experience.
