I wanted to like this job

Senior microbiology technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are a hard worker in the right place at the right time, you will easily move up from Main Lab to Path Lab (ie. someone quits or a client demands more testing from now until eternity). Its a great starting point to learn microbiology and quality assurance. You get to actually make a difference in the community, as most of our clients are relatively local. The people who work here are friendly and management likes to step into the lab and help us out when things get tough.

Cons

The building is old and is falling apart. Cracked tiles, exposed wood on counter tops, equipment breaking down and flooding the area every month, and most importantly the AC is never properly fixed. It's in the middle of summer, and some parts of the lab reach 85+F on a daily basis. One time our media department was sent home because it was over 90F in that area alone. Instead, corporate decides to spend more money building new labs and fixing things that were never issues in the past. No one is passionate about food safety here, not even management. Everyone, even management, complains all day about one thing or another and there is nothing being done about morale. We are constantly losing people and can't keep up with the high turnover. Since starting this job, ~20 people have left, with more to follow. And I've only been here for a year! Work-life balance is a joke, and overtime is practically mandatory to keep up with the workload. Overall, I do not trust our results that we send out to clients.

Thank you for your comments. Your feedback is very important. I have shared your post with the Regional Manager and VP of Operations – Facilities. There have been a lot of discussions regarding updates in this facility, repairs done as well as even considering a move – though we will look into what can be done expeditiously. We are working hard to make changes lab by lab and continue to create a culture where our employees are happy, engaged, valued and appreciated. We will review all of your concerns and address them as appropriate. I hope you will consider contacting the Regional Manager or a member of the HR Team to talk through these further. We will need to continue to evolve and make needed changes so that we can continue to provide both quick turnaround times coupled with accurate results. Bob Cox, SVP, HR

ITS TIME TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT!

Anonymous employee

Pros

T’S TIME TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT! I work in Amarillo. I like my job. I like FSNS, I like a lot (not all) of the people I work with (this is life). I am over the age of 40 (had to have my kid help me write this post). I am sick of all this back and forth that is going on – to include outright lies and name calling. Almost all of the stuff being posted is from former employees who couldn’t get over themselves while they were here and they can’t get over themselves now that they are gone. They would gripe and complain about the slightest thing that went wrong. They would gossip, some would travel to other labs and gossip, never offered solutions and tried to buddy up with managers to get their way and cover up their mistakes. I see the changes coming, but sometimes it takes time and I understand that.

Cons

Advice: Bitter current employees: Get a set! and have a talk with someone to get your issues fixed- start with the Regional if you want to.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Important here is that you have risen above this and continue to be a positive role model for others. I appreciate the phone call to discuss other topics too. Our goal is to make continuous improvements and create a culture where everyone is appreciated. Thank you again. See you on my next visit.
