Are you an experienced veterinary receptionist that is burned out, unappreciated and stuck in a hospital work environment that doesn’t align with your emotional well being?

Unfortunately you’re not alone. 

Over 80% of San Diego’s Veterinary workforce is dissatisfied with their current hospital employer. Why?

• Toxic Management
• Constant coworker turnover
• Limited growth opportunities
• HR inconsistencies 
• Scheduling discrepancies
• Pushy corporate work culture

These factors ultimately lead to an unstable work environment that destroys employee morale. 

The solution? Enter Black Mountain Animal Hospital.

Family owned and operated since 1987 and managed by a non-veterinarian business owner who is empathetic, understanding and appreciative of the hardworking hospital team who have decided to make his hospital their home and long term career move.

We have the work environment people are leaving their current vet hospital for. Why?

• 99% employee retention rate since 2020
• Experienced Full-time Veterinarian 
• Small hospital team with no strong personalities
• Owner is the Manager
• Non-corporate work culture
• Dedicated HR manager
