Pros

the company has good health benefits. Since its open 24/7 the hours are flexible. Not much else good to say.

Cons

Parking is horrible. Offsite parking delays you by 30-40 minutes daily. They dont compensate you for this lost time. Raises are just cost of living increases and they consider them a bonus/ raise. given out to certain employees. No performance evaluations either so those "raises" are given out to managers favorite employees. Vacation and sick time is below average. Company has no problem spending money on electronic kiosks across the campus and have a lavish holiday party but cant afford to spend some money on the employees EVER.

By far the worst laboratory I've ever worked for. Not only that but supervisor pratically begged me to bring in prior information to get to where they are which is number one QUEST DIAGNOSTICS. they will never get to where quest is. Even the people who work for them now complain. Lots are unhappy. Unprofessional and need more training. Sales rep are rude just as mush as the supervisors

Pros

Good benefits and insurance for company

Cons

Opening up new Psc and having no patients sitting there for a whole month with doing absolutely nothing hence why they are at the bottom of the lab list
