Do not take these reviews lightly. - Technician Food Safety Net Services Employee Review

Highly underpaid for the amount of work and responsibility. High turnover rate so every shift is constantly understaffed. Company only cares about turning a profit at the employee’s expense. Overtime is expected and often mandatory. No work/life balance and VERY high stress. Unless your intention is to devote your life solely to this company, you will likely be very unhappy. Work schedules are not consistent unless you’re a senior technician and even then they are prone to frequently fluctuate. Holidays are NEVER guaranteed. The pay is the same across the board, regardless of education. Although the company does list in their job postings that secondary education is preferred. Personally, that really irritated me because I had a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field and was making the same as a high school dropout, while carrying tens of thousands of dollars of student debt. Health insurance is incredibly expensive. Initials and signatures are often forged, and management’s solution is to punish the victim. MANY safety hazards. Dumpster diving for samples in a dumpster filled with broken glass, rotting meat and other sample matrices, and an abundance of blood and other liquids and all kinds of bacteria. Honestly someone should call OSHA because all of the contents in the dumpsters leak into the soil around the building. On Sunday, June 30, 2019, the city police and fire department actually went out to the lab because of the disgusting mess the dumpsters were making. Their “open door policy” is a trap. NEVER TRUST ANYONE. DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA. Unprofessionalism across the board. The handbook doesn’t exist in the Amarillo lab. Relationships between members of management and technicians, inappropriate clothing, behavior, etc.
