FarmVet

FarmVet has a problem with appeasing unprofessional employees who exhibit untoward and inappropriate behavior at the expense of professional employees. Management, in my opinion for what that's worth, needs to understand that young college graduates do not want to make low wages long-term and if they want to retain these hires they need to provide some sort of advancement/raise plan (and actually follow through with it) or simply not hire them for a warehouse/retail position. I was hired for a specific role but routinely got roped into responsibilities that were not in my job description and felt like I had very little value. 

From what I can see it seems the location I was in formerly is doing well in terms of employee retention rates now but that was certainly not the case when I was there. I worry that the location's employee prosperity may still be fragile. One bad hire seemed to really upend everything there due to how long management suffered through (or was unaware of?) unprofessional attitudes and behavior. On the bright side, I met a lot of lovely clients who are passionate and talented equestrians, I made an office friend or two who I'm still in touch with today, and the benefits weren't great but they at least existed.

TLDR: The company culture and management structure has a lot of growing to do before I would suggest someone with options go looking for employment there.

Working at Farmvet was the worst mistake of my life, not only does management undermine you, lie about you and, they blame you for their mistakes they do not train or try to fix any problems. Fast paced environment where you are completely under appreciated in all aspects of your job, no training is given, no rules, protocol, everyone just does what they want or see fit. Small minded people in management positions who inhibit the growth of the company and deter any sort of change when growth happens. This could be a great company if they listened to the employees who work in the field, not behind a desk. While the pay was decent this company is not for someone who really wants to excel in the equine industry. They will throw you away like trash when you ask questions or ask for help and guidance in understanding the insanity of the processes of the programs they give you to work with. It is run by a few young people with no real work experience or work ethic and sadly the higher ups believe they are heading in the right direction. Managers are just there to get a paycheck and most of them have never earned the spot of being a manager it just fell into their lap. I would not work for this company they will use you and abuse you until you can't give them anything else. They do not care about personal life or situations that employees are going through. If someone doesn't get along with you, you are out!! Don't waste your time with Farmvet!

You never know what your day is going to look like, you can walk in and immediately be handed tons of work, while some employees just sit around and don’t help at all, or you can walk in and the day will be absolutely dead and slow. Everyone is treated differently, some people are favorites, others are going to be ignored. Communication is awful, expect to never know what is going on. Training is nonexistent for new employees. Management seems to have a love for making very specific employees to do all the hard work while others that are favored get to play around all day and do nothing. Management needs to really change the way they treat their employees, they don’t even realize when employees are tired and burnt out. 

FarmVet is a wonderful company to work for! They are constantly growing and are very good about keeping their employees up to date with the growth and goals they have for the company. Management is very uplifting and genuinely cares about the employees beneath them. The most enjoyable part of the job as a purchasing agent is getting the opportunity to bring products to the company that we genuinely believe in and watching them succeed. I have learned so much with this job and continue to learn more everyday. If you are interested in sales, purchasing, traveling and have a love for the horse industry, this is certainly the job for you!

What is the best part of working at the company?
There aren't many positive things to say about this company. Was a terrible experience managing the warehouse and the team if you want to call them a team.

The outside consultant that would over step and tell me how to do my job

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very toxic and no team effort.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
 Nothing but complaining

Great work/life balance. Unique and amazing travel opportunities. Compassionate managers. Nice customers. Co-workers that have turned into life long friends. In-depth training on products, processes and operations for new hires and continued training for seasoned team members. Upward mobility within the organization. 

This is an independent representative position that has limited accounts available. My clients are long look to me to educate and 
guide them towards the most cost/benefit supplements and products. I continue to service them with follow up calls and visits as well as recommendations on what new products may benefit their program.

Great salary and bonus structure for a young 20 something. Very demanding when travelling and are travelling for months at a time. It is implied you're on 4 weeks and off 2, but that is rare. A fast paced environment. Great if you've got a great team that works well together. Management needs to be more transparent and listen to trailer associate needs/concerns. Sometimes it is hard to receive extra support when needed.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexibility in schedule, coumpounding

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing. Maybe inventory. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Chill, pleasant, get your work done but not like most pharmacies 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Filling, compounding, orders, order fulfillment, typing &phones.

Good hours, Franklin is a nice area, great co-workers, dog friendly but a lot of hats worn by all / a lot of pressure and some disorder amid fast growth. Offices are getting cramped due to the fast growth and lots of new hires.
