Pros

Enjoyed the customers/patients. No better or worse than any other laboratory as far as workload is concerned.

Cons

Company has many management issues. Particularly on the supervisory level. Cannot keep a capable supervisor for phlebotomy. Last one was fired and the latest is a nightmare. Had problems with short checks and long resolution times.

My extended experience with Bio has helped me advance in my life although it's still a hard to thrive company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great medical benefits, Life Insurance policies, Dental insurance, work schedule flexibility, comfortable environment for the employee as well as the patient in the patient service center.

Cons

My only challenge I've experienced is being cut throated by other employees through gossip. Too much caddiness & pettiness among the employee & employers. Too much favoritism. Raises are a joke. Communication between supervisors & managers with the plebs are horrible.

Business Outlook

Pros

If you work in NJ, TX, or FL and very select other markets you can do well. Everyone else is screwed.

Cons

Majority of employees can make only so so money with no opportunity for more. Management is the worst I've ever experienced. Disrespectful and demeaning. No career development or advancement opportunities.
