Community Veterinary Partners

I worked at Community Veterinary Partners hoping to grow professionally, but my experience was extremely frustrating. The environment felt disorganized, reactive, and heavily dependent on last-minute decisions rather than clear planning. Expectations changed frequently without proper communication, which created unnecessary stress and confusion across teams.

Leadership often appeared disconnected from the day-to-day realities of employees. Processes were inconsistent, and it sometimes felt like employees were expected to solve systemic issues without the authority or resources to actually fix them. Collaboration sounded great in theory, but in practice communication gaps caused delays, duplicated work, and avoidable operational challenges.

Work-life balance was difficult to maintain. Deadlines were aggressive, priorities shifted quickly, and recognition for the extra effort felt minimal. Instead of structured support, many employees relied on their own workarounds just to keep things running.

The in office staff is subjected to endless calls from clients who have had their complaints and concerns about the constant price increases, lack of follow up from vets, and over all decline in client care. No answers are given from corporate, no upper management solutions. Lead clinical management offers very little help with day to day operations, merely casting blame onto those in office and over looking their own short comings in their role. The culture is toxic. Many inappropriate and disrespectful comments being made by management, NO privacy within HR. It is a never ending cycle of problems arising and being ignored by those who should want to address them. It is a defeating and quite sad place to work as any drive to improve the environment and practice has been completely sucked out of us. CVP cares about money and only money. You will receive no help and be under appreciated and blamed for the issues that never stop due to their lack of concern. 

The place is awful. Management is god awful. Policies are constantly changing make it impossible for anyone to do their job right. All CVP cares about is money. They bend the rules for certain clients but not for others based on who they like and don’t like. Employee retention is horrible for obvious reasons. The clientele is pretty awful too. They did at one point try to make employees happy and give people schedules they wanted but most people just want a decent paying job where they feel appreciated and you will not find that here. You’re expected to sit down, shut up and do what you’re told and if you raise concerns about anything, you get a big target on your back from the PM. Find a private practice and stay away from all corporate owned hospitals. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Investment opportunities in company equity 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Unjust treatment for non revenue producing positions, even in management positions higher ranking. Dealing with Veterinarians with entitled and condescending personas. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Smoke and mirrors. Initially seems wonderful, then complete blindside. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, constantly catering to every small minor issue pushed off by incapable, young employees who just didn’t care.

I've been with Community Veterinary Partners for a little over a year.  So far it's been an excellent experience. I feel compensated and supported . Things aren't always perfect but when we have an issue I feel like our team listens and does its best to address in a timely manner. Leadership I feel has been honest and direct about where we're going and why they make the decisions that they do.. This is the first place I've worked that listened to the employees regarding benefits and made significant changes as a result of it.  If you have an opportunity to work here  you should give it serious consideration. 

No one has time to teach you anything because it’s all about making money their money, They come to talk to you so they can reprimand your boss and as the old saying goes the “ S “ slides down hill, they give the power of raises to the people who give the most to those in their circle,  .15 or .65 cents never whole dollars This corporation will come in and lie lie lie about everything you work your butt off for their raise increases not yours and they will never upgrade any equipment ever. They talk like things will change but they don’t 

Management cares about numbers, but not client care. Management and lead vet talk about other employees openly, they do not stay professional. Very "Mean Girl" atmosphere, which leadership acknowledges, but does not address. The office staff is treated poorly and not offered help even when chronically understaffed. When problems are brought up, they are brushed aside or taken as "creating a negative culture." This job sucks the joy out of you.

The clinic I worked at sold to CVP back in November of 2021. I was a little nervous at first because you just assume the worst and a expect a complete overhaul is coming . Surprisingly it hasn’t been that way at all. We have some additional support and some of the business side of things were taken over but my day to day is the same! They honored everything that was In place and even got some  improved benefits out of the deal .  I feel lucky that our previous owner partnered with this group!

I truly enjoy working for Community Veterinary Partners. The culture is positive, supportive, and encourages everyone to show up as their authentic selves. I appreciate how the company values individuality and inclusivity. I also feel very connected to the company’s mission statement, and it’s rewarding to be part of an organization that genuinely cares about both its people and the communities it serves. Overall, a fulfilling and uplifting place to work.

I’ve worked here for some time now, my coworkers are awesome, they communicate well with each other, they love to help each other and are willing to teach you more skills so you can expand your skill set and gain more experience, having some vet knowledge before entering is always a plus, however they truly mean it when they say they’ll hire the right candidate with no experience, a majority of the clients treat the assistants and techs kindly
