I haven't myself, but a friend did a placement in Costa Rica and said it was an amazing experience!

My experience was amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with. The vets and staff were so welcoming and friendly, and I felt like I learned a lot during my time there. It was definitely a rewarding experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in veterinary medicine or animal welfare.

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
