I have heard and read so many negatives about working for Banfield. I want to get a conversation started in hopes that someone will be able to speak about good aspects of it, in particular, regarding their mentoring program.
I am a new graduate and I am really nervous about practicing without a strong mentorship environment. I really like the structured mentor program Banfield offers. I feel as though many private practices may say they will mentor you but then they don't have the time or the resources to spend paying you a full doctor's salary and then you not pulling your weight by doing a "full doctor's worth". I just feel so pessimistic that I will not be able to find a private practice that will want to hire a new grad who wants involved mentorship.
I heard from a Banfield representative that the first year there they want you to focus on learning, not on production and they don't expect you to make production the first year even. I just really like how Banfield looks on paper (great salary, 401K, great vacation etc) but I have only heard overwhelmingly bad things about them which makes me wonder even more why their reviews are so bad. I have heard/read about a handful of people who enjoy working for them, one of which is also a recent grad who appreciated the mentorship they provided.
Thanks guys
