Review from Operations Dept
We are all helpful and carying
We power through a bad day
my kennel team was great in the care they provided to clients. the upper management took credit for this when all they did was sit and watch cameras or order food from their desk
They are dependable for most of the time
We can all bound over how bad our managements team is and use that to get through the day. VCA Gardenstate, NJ
A lot of friendly coworkers and I’ve met some of my best friends he
My coworkers and I get along very well.
every meeting that we do helps us be better for everyone for seeing our past mistakes
Most of my direct team is great! They are very dedicated and professional. However, one person will only answer phones and do emails. The rest of the time she is on her phone, playing games on computer, purposely irritating coworkers, braiding her hair. We have all complained, nothing is done
we all work great together.
Friendly, caring and empathetic to clients, patients and other team members.
They work hard to get things done for the patients no matter how short staffed we are or how burnt out we get
We feel like a team
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
The employees that are all at the same level are great to work with it is the supervisors that are the issue, its hard to had good moral when you are talked negatively about and employees are excluded if they do not fit in.
Task and time management could be improved
Experience, take ownership and feel connected
They just "bark" orders. No pun intended
communication, better staffing, better pay, supportive management
Show up for work and do their job. Be held accountable for their actions.
Most of the technicians can work as a team but there are some that refuse and make it very difficult to have a smooth day. They will also abandon you without a word and you are left to pick up the slack. Most everyone else tries to be helpful but those few that think of themselves as elitist.
My coworkers are fine it's the HM that's ruining the clinic
There's a lot of favoritism going around and a lot of people not being treat fair, and they don't speak up because they don't want to lose their job. Everyone needs to be treated the same, so working as a team can be achieved better and more smoothly.
Review from Admin Dept
It seems like is a very highschool mean girls enviroment. People will also openly talk about how they are getting in trouble or talked down to for something that was beyond their own control. The management condones this and likes to gossip and spred fake information.
We would have staff meetings but nothing ever seemed to change. My coworkers would think that things unless they were specifically called never applied to them. My management team was never on the same page which made it hard for support staff to be consistent with hospital procedures.
Communicate, Micromanagement can end, understanding, lack of bullying, inclusion
Everyone is tired of the corporate skeleton shifts. They aren't loyal. They could use a better manager and more common sense. Our manager locks her doors and we hardly see her. It feels like a dictatorship. When VCA bought this place it felt like diplomacy and democracy.
Communication! Negative attitudes! Teamwork! Will to work! Disrespect! Reprimands. Knowledge base (technichians, receptionist, management). Management skills. Patient care.
Again, stop leaving people adrift and not properly training.
Nothing they're doing great during these times
Being a team and no clicks which cause a lot hazing
Review from Operations Dept
not talk about each other (includes management)
Review from Operations Dept
Regular meetings, focus on communication, proper training (from management), be more reliable.
Review from Operations Dept
Open communication is key and back stabbing needs to stop
