Smart people can work their way up

Medical technologist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are very smart, then this company is definitely for you and you can advance rather quickly… otherwise, your raises will be mediocre. The company’s medical insurance is very extensive and they pay better than most in the industry.

Cons

Don’t expect to get paid more just for sticking around. If you aren’t adding more value to the company every year, then your pay won’t increase every year. Be smart. Do the work. That’s how you succeed at BioReference.

Specimen handler

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You learn a lot about lab work. Different things different days. Great co workers

Cons

Temp workers make more money than company people. If you are exposed to Covid, you have to pay for the tests. You have to pay for your vaccines.

Pros

Good benefits: medical, dental, vision, life, 401K, vacation, sick and personal time accrual. All phlebotomists are great to work with they are all hard workers.

Cons

Horrible/shady management, unethical work practices, awful schedule, no work/life balance, unfair/illegal wage practices, do not follow labor laws, no chance of a raise EVER or room for growth, etc! No praise, no yearly review.
