Maybe I'm in the wrong department
Pros
From what I hear from other techs, moving shifts, changing lunch times, handling issues, taking vacation time seems to be quite easy to work with their respective supervisors on. Everyone is friendly and although the workload is high volume, the environment does not feel as intense. Great place to start out from college.
Cons
401k match could use some much needed love. Techs are certainly underpaid for their work. Techs from other medical diagnostic labs seem to have better benefits but less experience, Molecular Women's Health - some of the worst lower management I have seen. All they care is about profits and for that matter all things regarding to their techs as human are utterly forgotten. If you do not have 1st shift you aren't thought of, you are expected to complete more than 40 hours of work without going a minute over. Lunch breaks must be documented everyday (cannot overlap with another employee), bathroom breaks have to be "approved" by the shift lead, Mgmt team more concerned with work turnover than training techs with an understanding of the science behind the procedures. 2nd (4:30pm - 1:00am) and 3rd (12:30am-9:300am) shift times are very awkward and should be changed. Transferring departments from MWH seems to be impossible. Makes building a career impossible.
