Good first lab job - Laboratory Assistant 4Cyte Pathology Employee Review

Other coworkers were generally nice

No support from management, roster would be released 2 days in advance, management would never deal with any problems raised, not paid well for the amount of work expected to be done, work health and safety wasn't followed

Anyone below supervisor level is an absolute pleasure to work with. Fast paced environment makes the day go fast.

Management and Upper management DO NOT CARE about how well you do your job, they don't care about your psychological health, they use you til burnout then spit you out. Staff turnover is HUGE! This place is the most toxic environment I have ever worked in. If you aren't a family member or a friend of someone who works there, you will be mobbed if you try to get them to fix the environment and you will be pushed out. Nepotism is rampant!!!! They are focussed on aquiring QML staff because of some sort of beef with QML and there is a huge QML clique. They pride themselves on it. We were always told it is all about the patient but really it is ALL about the bottom dollar and bonuses. Staff are treated like crap daily and they don't even follow their own procedures. If you do end up working there, get everything in writing, they like it all verbal so there is no proof. Document document document. Forget about work life balance, that isn't in their vocabulary. Don't bother asking for help, you won't get it until you begin to burn out and can't keep up anymore, then they swoop in and "fix" it so they look good, they don't fix it, they make it look like they do, then blame you for any failures.
