Enforced change for the worse

Business outlook

Pros

Genuinely really good people who are all trying their best in difficult circumstances. Hybrid work model is as good as any other business in the midlands - is fairly unmonitored. Base pay was reasonable

Cons

Reorganisation in late 2025 with Mars Veterinary Health was detrimental to Uk & I business. Lots of fire fighting and proposed processes that are unfit for purpose. Work life balance became a thing of the past. Outside of salary, other benefits are lacking - stat min pension, no optionality to buy or sell holiday. PMI for some but not for others.

Not a great employer anymore

Pros

Culture was amazing when i worked my first year and now its in a questionable state. Good flexible working hours and a great team!

Cons

There are no CPD opportunities for central support. Management is extremely disorganised, often making decisions without consulting the appropriate people. There’s also a clear lack of career progression, with numerous projects being handled poorly and without proper structure. On top of that, there are constant restructures every year and frequent changes in leadership, which only adds to the instability.

In decline

Business outlook

Pros

The RVNs, PCAs, Interns, Client Care Team and the majority of Clinicians - all collaborative and working to the best of their ability for the patients.

Cons

Unfortunately in a state of decline in the years post acquisition. More bureaucracy and power-hungry middle-management, which leads to ground floor staff being overworked and often insufficient cover to manage patients in hospital, due to burn-out, illness and lack of colleague sustainability being taken into account. Ultimately left as they made it impossible to return post-pregnancy.
