Pros

The vet/animal health industry is a decent industry to work in. Pretty good benefits, vacation and 401k contribution and you get free food for your pets.

Cons

Most managers only seem to care about looking good to their superiors. I have seen managers disregard their team's best interest, undermine their team members, and be anything but transparent. Way too many pointless and time wasting conference calls. Also, some managers act like they care about their team, but I haven't seen my manager in over 4 months (and they claim that they care about my development) The pay is way below average and you are not going to make more money ever while working at Royal Canin.

Pros

Coworkers were very nice and helpful. Learned a lot about animals. Great PTO. Was about to take off when needed.

Cons

Loved working here at first, but then I felt like a machine. I understand KPIs and metrics, but repeating the same thing multiple times a day quickly tires you out. Having your calls listened to can feel pressuring and invasive, though I understand why it is done. Micromanaging by a new manager with no prior experience at the company made things worse. My previous manager was hands-off because he trusted his staff and their monthly reports; it wasn't necessary to hover over us. I had great KPIs and scores, but with my new manager, the goalposts were always moving, and it was never good enough. It was frustrating. I enjoyed everyone on my team, but, as always, it's the manager who overwhelms you for no reason and pushes you away. Throwing in how much the company has made during our quarterly meetings were kind of a slap in the face. Raises need to be a priority, this is a multimillion dollar company.
