Pros

- Good pay for the work we do (CLA2 get $25/hr, shift supervisor get $35/hr, general supervisor get $45/hr) and there is 10% differential for PM shift, 20% differential for night shift. Curative only does one assay (COVID), so the work is relatively easy and chill. - They used to have food catering daily for employees but not anymore. - 401k, PTO, and good healthcare benefits for permanent employees.

Cons

- Poor management, favoritism, and lack of planning. E.g. They decided to cut night shift by October 20 and claimed that there will be no layoff only to go back on their words next week. They gave two weeks notice of layoff and cut half of shift supervisors and managers by October 18. There is a lot of favoritism going on with the layoff decision as they kept a manager that have zero knowledge on clinical workflow, is not competent to run patient's samples, but they layoff another manager with a master degree that does all of the clinical workflow and can troubleshoot every department. Also, they have layoff supervisor with an ASCP certificate but kept other uncertified supervisors. It is suspicious that they kept all of AM supervisors but mainly reduce from PM and GY which shows that you need to be in AM and kiss up to certain people to keep your job. - Non-transparency. E.g. whenever staff notice sample decline and ask about potential layoffs in the past, they always reassure us and said there is no layoffs only to go back on their words within a week. This has happened MULTIPLE TIMES in the past and most of the higher ups do not care about the employees. - Zero job security. E.g. They only do COVID assay but COVID won't be around forever, and they already shut down one of the three labs. - Management is unresponsive. E.g. They required PTO requests to be made 2 weeks in advance and people would request couple months in advance sometimes but they always respond last minute or ignore your emails. Also, management is usually never around during the off shifts (PM and GY).

Curative, Inc. Response

Thank you for sharing your experience while working at Curative. Curative was established to help end the COVID-19 pandemic, and we did an enormous amount of work toward that cause. With COVID testing slowing down, we needed to make some difficult decisions. We do not take the decision to lay off anyone lightly, but decreased volumes at our labs and across the country warranted this action. We thank you for your part in our effort to end the pandemic, and hope that you take pride in that as well. It is our goal for each person on our team to feel supported with open lines of communication from all levels of the company. Additionally, if employees bring forward complaints, Human Resources investigates them in accordance with our internal processes, and all complaints are addressed appropriately.

Pros

-Some people in the company will have your back and give you a chance to show your skills -Some of the people here are very helpful(someone a lower level than me who probably should have been my level helped me so much)

Cons

-They promote negative competitions -You get a gift card like once a year and they tax it on your next check -Once we noticed salaried employees should get unlimited PTO across the company's policy; we all banded together- the loophole was to make us all hourly instead of giving us what the company offered for salary employees which they made us salary in 2 weeks after we fought the policy -The company makes many promises to everyone but can't keep it -CNs are what keeps this company afloat yet treated like slums -They hire and promote their friends in a short time while others fight for growth(not related to me but I have seen and heard some of the worse things from people who want to move up in this company. I wouldn't even dare try because they are becoming TOXIC) -They often use a group of their best employees for different things but never reward or promote them
