Hi there,
I just went to a presentation on Banfield here at Murdoch and it was quite interesting. They have never come to Australia before so everyone was quite keen on listening. Long ago and far away when they first started I remembered they had some bad things being said about them by some of the local vets I worked with back home in the US. The presentation was of course biased and overwhelmingly positive. The salary alone that a new graduate can earn in just general practice cannot be beat. The program they have for new graduates looks amazing and you can go all over the US because there are so many of the hospitals everywhere.
What I am getting at is...what is the catch? This is definitely too good to be true type of material. But it does seem like a great opportunity for someone who really wants to be a good general practitioner. What are everyone elses thoughts and experiences with this new and improved and massively expanding Banfield? They plan on opening 100 hospitals this year alone.
