Understaffed, Lot of opportunity to move up but high turnover rate

Pros

If you show promise they will promote you, but will do so without an immediate raise.

Cons

Managers not helpful at all, every man for themselves, Closers get all the weight of the day thrown at them Pay is inconsistent just depends on what you started at.

Thank you former Main Lab Lead - Knowing your position and location makes this rather obvious. Being in San Antonio gives you lots of opportunities to have discussions. Please stop by or give me a call to discuss. We both know some of what your saying is a stretch - but would love to hear more. I look forward to a discussion - by phone or in-person. Thanks Bob Cox, SVP, HR

Pros

Some people had promising promotions quickly if they know how to please their boss especially the Regionals

Cons

Toxic work environment. I’ve worked at the company for many years and heard/seen lots of people from different locations. It’s all about how to cover up your mistakes and how to please your boss. And once you moved up a little bit, it’s all becoming how to squeeze out every bit of value from the employees until nothing left. Overworked employees and underpaid them. Blamed them for your management oversight of mistakes and adding lots of unnecessary checks. Toss them like garbage. At the end, every situation has an alternative way to resolve- only money and lying to customers matter and not the quality of work or accuracy of testing.

It is disheartening to hear these comments. While I appreciate your wish to voice your concerns, this venue will not be the best way for you to get these comments off your chest or get to a resolution – we have an open door policy here and you know that. You state that you are located here in San Antonio as a current Lab Lead (?) – just a few steps away from multiple resources to assist you in-person with your concerns. Did you actually intend to list a different location? Many of your statements and allegations are concerning and not correct, especially those directed to our employees, quality and accuracy of testing and our customers. We care deeply about our people and go above and beyond to provide opportunities to grow and offer continued support. I have shared your concerns with the lab management team as well as our VP of Microbiology Operations. I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you in-person, you may walk over at your convenience. Thank you. Bob Cox, SVP, HR

It's alright

Business Outlook

Pros

Okay for fresh grads who need some kind of experience on their resume

Cons

- Any chance at learning new skills will be gained as a Path Lab Tech, but you might not get there if at all. - You'll be swamped with work, stuck between demoralized coworkers who can't wait to get out ASAP and mid-to-upper level management who'd rather have an understaffed lab than god-forbid hire more people. - Amount of work is disproportionately high compared to the pay.

We will continue to look into issues brought forward and address them quickly, though I hope you will consider reaching out to me directly. FSNS affords all employees all types of feedback vehicles – accessibility to all organization leaders, an Open Door Policy, Stay Interviews, Team Meetings, Confidential Hotline, etc. We listen, continue to make change, are in-process on a number of new hires and working to identify and assist high performing employees to move up in the organization. Financial rewards come with hard work, training and accepting promotional opportunities – we announce promotions of talented employees almost daily. It doesn’t matter what year your graduated from High School or college – to include your 1970s graduation year. Our goal is to make continuous improvements and create a culture where everyone is appreciated and has numerous opportunities to advance and grow. Hopefully your new endeavor meets your every wish and demand. Stay safe in your new field! Bob Cox - SVP, HR
