Knowing I'm making a difference/positive impact in people and pets lives.
We 100% support one another. No one is above picking up poop. Doctors answer phones when needed. Our physical AND mental health is made a priority.
Caring about each other. Direct hospital management promotes a positive work/life balance. Picking up the slack when you need to if someone is having a rough day because you know they'll do the same for you.
Over 20 years of experience, in a management role, and and my financial compensation isn't much more than those with a lot less experience and none of my responsibilities. Practices in the area are offering starting salaries at more than what I am making now - some by 10-12$/hour
