Monster's Formspring Pros!
I get to work with animals and am getting ~veterinary hospital experience~.
The staff at my job is also really friendly and awesome.
The head tech and the head vet (who is also the practice owner) are both gay, and I am strongly considering being Out Of The Closet Hardcore at work and seeing how that goes.
After the third month of work, I will get 50% discount on veterinary services.
(Minimal) health care plan.
Cons!
My salary is pretty fucking shitty and definitely is not enough to move out on.
Little opportunity to assist in actual medical care of animals.
On my feet all day doing physically-taxing (read: omfg exhausting) labor, made worse because I am a fatty; I have the opportunity to just sit down and rest my feet less than five times a day.
The vets have a policy to only teach their staff additional skills after three solid years of employment.
My hours are typically 7am-4pm. Aughwhy.
I am expected to arrive early and leave late for all of my shifts. This, plus the fact that my shifts officially begin at 7am, means that my insomnia and anxiety issues are already kicking my ass to death.
I am for all intents and purposes a motherfucking janitor.
Conclusion!
I'm keeping this job because there isn't anything else yet - the operative word being 'yet.' I am officially Still On The Hunt. I will be looking both for other (~real~) veterinary positions and for things that are relevant to my skills/interests/degree. Additionally, if I am still working where I am right now several months down the line and the civil service test I took plays out in the form of a job opportunity from the New York state court system, I am taking it. I am dying to move back to THE FATHERLAND anyway.
