  CVS Group Employee, August 2023

• Best thing

  The team, the animals! Opportunity for progression, focus on wellbeing, regular check ins with management

  Busy periods, how expensive services can be for clients, too few staff for the workload

  9.7

  CVS Group Receptionist, August 2023

• Best thing

  Line managers are understanding

  Worst thing

  Lack of support, line managers don’t have the tools to change anything to help suffering team members.
  There’s no process to discuss difficult cases, or discuss concerns.
  There’s a severe lack of training, and directors seem oblivious to staff morale.
  Equipment is not fit for purpose, and nurses opinions are not valued. There is a lack of collaboration between services and team members.

  CVS Group Employee, May 2022

• Best thing

  Certain members of the team are good to work with.

  Worst thing

  Head office and managers don’t listen to the staff that have more experience than they do in the job. Some managers come from different industry’s without knowledge and don’t listen to the advice of long time employees. You get promised one thing then they go back on it

• Best thing

  Working with animals, variation

  Worst thing

  Middle management demands and lack of understanding of the veterinary profession, having to watch your back before CVS decide to get rid of you on whatever trumped-up charge they choose, abusive clients getting away with shocking behaviour, I could go on.

• Best thing

  Driving. some of the people I work with.

  Worst thing

  No work life balance. Hardly ever do contracted hours, always expected to do overtime at basic rate. Critisized by management if we are not able to do extra work. Under staffed. Low paid for working in unsociable conditions and working very long hours. Not all staff treated the same.
