Pros

If you're just starting out in this industry, this is a good place to learn the basics of lab diagnostics. The coworkers and atmosphere is quite nice and the supervisors are insistent but not demanding. The time-off is decent for this type of position, as well.

Cons

Although employees of the same shift tend to get along, there is significant tension between shifts especially first shift and the others, as management tends to favor first shift. Once you get past the basics of the labwork and the way it is run there is not very much to learn anymore as work is more production based. Furthermore, management is very bloated so there is no expectation of being promoted upwards, really. I recommend getting your experience and getting out.

Pros

None whatsoever. Everything they advertise as a pro has fineprint that renders it completely useless.

Cons

Wish I could have given zero stars, 1 star feels like lying. The most important thing is that they will mess you over without a second thought. For those who may have just started at the company, quit now before they mess you over. Don't be deceived by the benefits they advertise. Don't think you're valued because they will turn on you the second keeping you as part of the team inconveniences them. They don't pay fairly and blow off people who need to make a living. On top of trash pay, the work environment will have you hating what you do even while you're actively helping people. At PSCs, you're severely overworked and under a microscope. As an IOP, you're underappreciated and taken advantage of. The way they do business is very shady. They constantly have lawsuits against them, Google it. I saw the reviews and didn't listen because I thought a bad job was better than no job in this economy. I was so wrong. For your own mental health, and overall finances, don't work here. EVER. There are other jobs out there that pay fairly and aren't toxic. I found one and am so happy because I could have been trapped in a company going nowhere. Now I am paid what I'm worth and growing in my career, not just stuck choosing between being a phlebotomist, float or a high-stress supervisor. Just wait for a better job. I promise, the trash pay and stress are NOT worth the gas you'll waste driving all over the place even when you're not a float. Just don't do it.
