Pros

This company benefits are better than most companies.

Cons

The volume of work does not match the extremely understaffed workers. Extra shipments come everyday and the eta is never accurate. Some benches need 3 techs on it instead of 1. There is a lot of call offs at work due to illness and people are simply overworked. Sometimes 1 tech is expected to do the work 3 techs. Lab Assistants are overworked and expected to pull pending everyday because some techs are too lazy to pull their on pending. Expect to stay in the cooler for long periods of time if your are a lab assistant in hematology. Expect to never know when you are leaving each day and expect overtime to almost necessary to complete tasks everyday. The lab assistant pay is not good. Even when they want you to do 7 different tasks everyday including other folks work. A lot of training is needed on the direct management side. Favoritism and Mess is apart of the culture.

Pros

It has taught me what I do not want in an employer It gave me experience for way better opportunities It made me realize that being a good worker doesn’t always mean being rewarded

Cons

When injured from being overworked and exhausted , they treated me like trash When compassion fatigue hit— they judged and questioned whether I belonged there rather than understood People make up rumors about you even if you didn’t do anything (it’s like a catty high school in there) Having one bad day constitutes you getting pulled in the office to be scolded If you’re a good worker, and you get your stuff done efficiently, they stuff you with more work Many individuals treat the animals like trash and are covered up by management if they are the “favorites” Most of the trainers there are absolutely catty people and will talk behind your back if you’re “too slow” or “not learning fast enough”
