Real change in corporate culture since purchase and CEO turnover

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Opko purchased BioReference in Aug 2015. Until then BioReference had operated in a small company mode even though their revenue was over 800 million per year and they grew 15% to 25% per year. After the purchase more corporate procedures and processes were incorporated as expected (and often needed) but the corporate culture changed.

Cons

Since the turnover of CEO Marc Grodman approximately a year ago the company culture has significantly changed. Implementation of SAP, and many other systems have decreased corporate productivity. There has been significant upper management turnover, especially in the genetics area.

Pros

BioReference offers great benefits, and they have been improving since I have been here. The work environment is OK, but it definitely could be a lot worse. Management at BioReference definitely wants you to succeed and will give you the help you need to do so. There are also a lot of great people at BioReference.

Cons

Poor communication is definitely evident here. The workload between employees is also imbalanced and it seems to be a recurring issue. The workload can also be very stressful at times.

Great Insurance, Good Pay, But Bad Work Environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Insurance is great, having $20 copays for any doctor visit, no referral necessary. Also, pay is pretty good and you get a $3 increase after a year of working as an IHC lab tech. Work is always flowing so you never get bored and you truly feel a sense of satisfaction knowing you're helping a patient.

Cons

People can really be aggravating to work with when they're more interested in everyone's personal life than in focusing on the integrity of the work. Management has favorites resulting in inequality in the work environment when it comes to days off. Shifts rival and complain about each other.
