      Fascinating Job with poor DEI - Hospital Services Technician Vitalant Employee Review

      Pros

      Being a part of the solution to help save lives every day was exciting and fulfilling. I had a lot of great coworkers who are friends for life. I learned a lot about myself and pushed my comfort levels to become a stronger person. The training was thorough and it is where I first discovered my passion for process improvement and working cross-functionally with other departments.

      Cons

      It was a male dominated department where it was made clear to me that women should keep quiet and just do your job. That was very difficult and disheartening. I literally had a man tell me that it was a woman's job to be seen and not heard. Unfortunately when I brought this up and other issues, very little was done to address it and I noticed that my reviews became harsher. Ultimately, I got another opportunity and left. I hope things have changed for the better.

      Pros

      The pay was nice and some of the coworkers were great to work with.

      Cons

      It’s a for profit company hiding behind a non profit mask. They don’t care about their employees or the patients they’re supposed to care for. The coworkers I worked with directly in my lab were amazing, but the people in the reference lab were extremely rude. Heaven forbid you call the reference lab on a Saturday and the on call tech has to come in to work on a stat sample. You instantly become their verbal punching bag, especially if you interrupted their grocery shopping. Policies change randomly and nobody bothers communicating anything properly. We used to get 5.25 hours of PTO every two weeks, then they changed it to 3 hours of PTO. If 1st shift is short staffed, they constantly pull people from 2nd and 3rd shift, leaving those shifts short too. But when 2nd or 3rd shift is struggling, nobody from 1st shift ever stays to help. People also get fired out of nowhere, then they turn around and hire less qualified friends and family members to work in the lab. They’ll fire someone with degree in medical laboratory science and who has been there for 3 years claiming they “don’t meet minimum requirements,” then hire the director’s friend with a computer science degree a week later.
