Pros

Many opportunities to shift around assignments within the company. Good tuition reimbursement for furthering education in a related field. Multiple locations "sites" for employment once you get your foot in the door. Varied job responsibilities based on competency.

Cons

Pay feels below average even considering a lower New Mexico cost of living. (Though this is a big ticket item slated to get addressed/resolved.)

Pros

Opportunities for growth if you're a tech or CLA, tuition reimbursement program, MLT scholarship program, continuing education opportunities

Cons

Executive level leadership is not very transparent, driven towards one goal that seems more like a personal goal than a company goal, corruption, low pay for the market

do not work here if you value yourself

Business Outlook

Pros

no pros to working here unless you are not a human being

Cons

inadequate training- you will learn only by your mistakes. management doesn't and won't listen. management at UNMH is extremely poor and this stems from poor direction at the top position and is run with a dictatorship/I know everything mentality. no one is happy at the core lab and this can be seen with poor attitudes and no smiles. HR loses documents and will not listen to employees and always gives them run around. Phlebotimists do not get paid enough. sexual harrassment is not taken seriously.
