Pros

Based on my short experience, I'm proud to share that you, your wellness, and your career development are in good hands with Adaptive Biotech! I took advantage of (and grateful for) their diverse support system, especially outside of supply chain, that's why I thrived for more than 6 months.

Cons

In response to the previous post about 125% employee turnover rate in the warehouse: - Material Handler "A" left due to slow, career progression. - Material Handler "B" gave a month's notice, implied to a peer of having a condescending new boss and lacking training support, then left company. - Material Handler "C" complained of having a "tone-deaf and incompetent" new boss, left right after senior management made a retaliatory decision of denying promotion. - Material Handler "D" confided to "C" of being stressed over having an absentee and "not a good" new boss. Two business days later, gave a 2-day notice and went straight back to previous company. - Material Handler "E" was a no-show on "D"'s last day and was never seen and heard from, since then. In my case, the long work hours, fast-paced, heavy and varying workload (must compensate for the work shirkers) were not my stressors. Rather, it was the new boss' numerous, "foot-in-the-mouth" moments as well as failure to step up to SME and people leader roles. HR is aware of the issues, including the moral anger. It seems that they'd rather see frontliners quit than hold the new boss (a crony, rushed onboard) accountable on the simmering pulse of the warehouse team. If you choose to stay, expect to engage in "surface acting".

Pros

I am conflicted, this company has a great purpose, they offer training luncheons and other opportunities for professional/personal growth. In most departments and even on the macro-level I think this can be a great place to work. At the same time I can't get over my extremely negative experience at Adaptive.

Cons

I concede this individual account may be prone to bias, in my defense FIVE Material Handlers have left (originally a team of 4) in the last 9 months. -In my department, within a week of me being hired I find Material Handler 'A' crying over a negative interaction with another co-worker. Worker 'A' quits within a month of me being hired. -Material Handler B gets hired (as a replacement for Worker A) and inappropriately harasses [suggestive comments toward] Material Handler C. The drama that pursued persisted for my entire time at Adaptive. Included everything from passive aggression to yelling. -Material Handler D gets hired. Worker D is clearly bothered by the supply chain department's culture (inappropriate harassment and negative-relationship between worker B and C) after starting. Material Handler D gets a competitive offer from their previous employer 2 months into working at Adaptive. Worker D quits/accepts offer. -I get fed up and quit in late spring 2020, I lasted only 6 months at this point. When you dread coming into work everyday due to needless drama, and on top of that you have a high-paced stressful job that requires co-worker collaboration, you burn-out quick. -Material Handler B quits/fired shortly after I leave. -Material Handler C (who has plenty to be upset about) quits a month or two later. Mid-summer 2020. The whole team that I started with just imploded.
