Job Description
PET VET IS LOOKING TO ADD ANOTHER EXPERIENCED MEMBER TO OUR ROCKSTAR TEAM!
If you are wanting to work somewhere that encourages team work and doesn't micromanage, encourages you to use your vacation time (that IS why we get so much after all!), and respects your days off, then PET VET is the place for you!
However, before we get down to business, allow us to introduce ourselves! We are a PRIVATELY OWNED three doctor small animal practice located in the Old Village district of Mount Pleasant. We are owned by the colorful Dr. Brian King. Dr. King believes in creating a positive and fun culture by providing rewards and incentives for excellent customer service and teamwork. Pet Vet is not your typical cold and impersonal hospital environment. We pride ourselves on having a team where everyone brings something different to the table that complements each others strengths. Since unity and team building are important to us, we offer multiple after hours team building outings throughout the year. Some past examples include pottery painting, visiting the Van Gogh Experience that came to Charleston, a yearly private sunset costume cruise in October, various concerts and much more! Because work/life balance is a priority, time off is encouraged and respected. Therefore, those outings are never required, just offered. In addition to dogs and cats, we also treat orphaned and injured wildlife of all shapes and sizes. We have seen it all - from injured pelicans to orphaned squirrels, and everything in between! In addition to our 4.9 Google rating, we are also very proud of the fact that we have won Best Of Mt Pleasant multiple times! Feel free to check us out at www.petvetmtp.com! We look forward to meeting you and finding out how you will complete our team!
