Pros

Two hours per day, I actually do the work that I thought I was hired to perform - hematology, chemistry, coagulation tests and urinalysis. I enjoy working with some of the professional employees and learn from their expertise.

Cons

There is no work/life balance here at all. The work is grueling as I spend an average of 3 hours per day STANDING in one place typing (accessioning) as fast as I can. The turnover rate is apparently very high and the pay is below average. Vacation requests are denied for no good reason. The Employee Handbook states that two 10 minute breaks are permitted per day yet I have never been offered a break by the "supervisor" in a year and a half. The work is not managed. The deadlines are unrealistic. Training consists of the "supervisor" stating "go faster." I'm not joking.

Pros

Good work environment with opportunity for growth if you pursue it.

Cons

Pay is low, but expected in an entry level role, and benefits are good which make up for it.
