I'm struggling to find an RVT, our organization always struggles to find candidates for this position. We pay $26/hour and cover 98% of medical insurance and offer 4% 401(k) match, 3 weeks PTO plus other great benefits. What are we doing wrong? Is the pay too low? Based on all the research and comparison it is right at the midline for North Carolina.

It depends on what your organization is. I'm in CA and our county animal shelter has had an opening posted for months.

That seems like a very fair wage, at least compared to where I live. That is more than what I make and I've been an RVT for 7 years. Also really good benefits. 3 weeks PTO is also fair.

I think its too low. But your in a different area than I am.
