What is it like working as a Veterinary Assistant?
May 2017
Veterinary Assistant in Acworth:
Pros: Working with animals and being able to make animals better.
Cons: High stress job were training is not a basic standard in the company. You learn as you go and make more mistakes making the job less enjoyable. Being called into different positions based on how many people are waiting. Then being reprimanded for not doing another job at that time.

Veterinary Assistant in Portland:
Pros: I love being able to work with animals in a setting that challenges me everyday. I am learning something new everyday whether it involves diagnostic care or honing my technical skills in working with animal patients.
Cons: It can get hectic and stressful, especially when we are under-staffed. Clients, by and large don't fully understand or respect our line of work as medical professionals because we work with animals and not humans.

What they teach you in books or how you were trained by an instructor will be very different from how you will apply those skills in a real life job.
