This lab is terribly mismanaged both on a local and corporate level. The lab is too small for the amount of samples processed there over the night shift, and is kept small, understaffed, and without proper resources probably on purpose for the sake of "cost effectiveness" at the expense of the employees. There is basically no management support overnight whatsoever. There is no night shift differential paid, despite this being an industry standard. There are at most 3 people working per shift, not nearly enough to complete all of the work without extreme detriment to employees' physical and mental health, and due to the lack of adequate staffing, employees are virtually incapable of taking sick days or needing to call out for an emergency. If your time off isn't scheduled months in advance, you're not able to get out of it without being subjected to guilt trips at the least and threats to your continued employment at most. There is basically no work/life balance as the workload guarantees overtime. There is no accommodation or understanding for employees dealing with disabilities and there have been violations of the ADA by management against employees. It's a high stress, high volume environment with none of the adequate management, accessible resources, or timely training required to make an environment like that bearable for employees. Upper management goes out of its way to try and screw employees out of fair compensation or treatment and counts on employees not speaking to one another about their compensation and finding out these disparities. This location may as well not even exist to corporate HR. This lab would do anything to save money at the expense of the employees. Employees have to deal with outdated and faulty equipment, including support equipment that was considered old in 1990.
