Modern Animal

I came in thinking a place called Modern Animal would actually live up to its name when it came to culture and operations, but the name is just a facade because the actual environment is trapped in outdated habits that nobody dares to challenge anymore. Whatever gets handed down from above becomes law, with no meaningful input from the people doing the work, and when problems are raised they ignored until everyone is forced into the next disaster. I watched the same failures repeat themselves because of this ridiculous resistance to changing processes or how things are run, and it wore me down because the solutions were obvious but there was nowhere to take them. The place had so much potential, but something deeply rooted in the culture fights improvement at every turn. By the time I left, I had accepted that the dysfunction was built into the foundation, and that was the worst part, not the problems themselves but the complete lack of desire to fix them. I'm exhausted by places that know exactly what broken and still refuse to do the work to make things better.

I never thought I'd be excited to come to work again. I have worked in toxic cultures in veterinary medicine; it's not easy or uncomplicated to unravel the behaviors that are ingrained here but Modern Animal is doing it. Management "gets it" more than any other place I have worked, they are open to feedback and actually act on it, which is an incredibly refreshing change. Not everything is perfect and it never will be, but I finally feel like as a doctor, I'm working in a place that make changes that show that my well-being is a priority.

A lot of companies just slap up "values" on an HR page and that's the end of it. Modern Animal truly lives its values every single day. They listen to their employees and try to provide the best experience to everyone (employees and members alike). They honestly do care about us, listen to feedback, promote PTO, etc. Everyone I work with is intelligent, reasonable, and invested in the mission.

The clinic feels purpose-built for a modern veterinary practice: clean, organized, fitted with the latest equipment. The vet tech team is skilled, and people have each other's backs when the schedule gets hectic. The training is good, and the pay is competitive. I'd recommend this place to those who want to improve their clinical skills and work with a friendly, supportive team.
