Pros
You are making a difference in somebody life
Cons
Lab at northern Virginia medical center is filled with nothing other than backstabbing Gossiping, unprofessional and nasty attitude staff , they will make you feel unwelcome your first day in addition to lack of knowledge they try to micromanage new employee and make them feel uvaluable. Management is weak and only care about themselves . Computer system is so complicated yet archaic. Staff focus on tiny negative things and a big dislike between different shift. Lack of communication and speaking is not allowed stabbing in the back is what goes around. Work load is high with short staff is every day challenge . No training available and they expect you to know every thing and no questions are welcome which make it stressful environment to work.. Believe me never work there , it is not a good place for medical technologist , if you do write your negative reviews here to benifit others
