Pros

Quality care in Peoria, have big plans to grow and will have opportunity

Cons

Don't really care about their employees and they are a new system and they are unorganized and there are different expectations depending on the affiliate.

Pros

If you have an MLT/MLS/MT certification, you WILL be hired. This is great for new grads, especially with the current 10,000.00 sign on bonus for 3 years of work (yes. They have always been understaffed, which is the reason for this. More on that later.) SOME of the people (about 75%) are pretty great to work with, and you get a lot of PTO compared to other places I've worked (about a day per 2 weeks worked, if you are a 1.0 FTE). You get to do highly complex testing, fully making use of your education and skills...not just a glorified phleb. In fact, the techs here don't do ANY phlebotomy ever, which some may enjoy. I think our pay is pretty competitive in the area for our position. There is also opportunity for advancement (see high turnover) but typically only if you work here at least 4-5 years minimum.

Cons

Staff turnover is insanely high in the lab. This means constant signups and overtime, which is good if you want to make a lot of money and have no life. Bad, if no one signs up and you're stuck dealing with operating a lab with a large volume of specimens that doesn't stop because there's no workers. If you make friends at your job, there is a good chance they won't be there in a few years. This is most likely due to a general apathetic treatment from management, high workloads where you are being highly scruitinzed (and not being rewarded for good work), and that extra 25% of people who AREN'T awesome to work with are pretty unfriendly and bitter...especially to new hires. As far as non-lab coworkers, most all of the doctors and about half of the nurses are wonderful to deal with. The other half will downright treat you like garbage (and get away with it, even if they scream and hang up on you just for doing your job and you write them up for it).

Pros

co-workers and support staff are good to work with

Cons

No work life balance due to management and there inability to see things for their staff members point of view. Some days I start at 6am some days at 2pm and everywhere in between. They spend to much time with workplace psych. Literally forcing the staff to send a “note” to fellow employees for doing their job “ I guess it is a feel good thing”. Raises are minimal. HR nor management care for the staff, no schedule provided more than 1-2 weeks out and then it is revised an average of 2-3 times even though we are well into it. This place could be great if they just started caring about employees, and stop treating them like just a body to staff a slot. Most of the staff I encounter daily are very caring and professional to the patents but Unity Point takes advantage of this and burns them out.
