Review - Phlebotomist Meritus Health Employee Review

Great salary and benefits. And the work is meaningful.

None really. It's a good place to work.

If you can work with a team and basically maintain the work flow of the entire department on your own than you'll be fine. As of the time I left the job more or less requires a steady friendship with the people around you. It can be a lot of work for anybody who doesn't want to get too close. The work environment is very positive. Just be ready to handle a lot of things on your own at any time.

Very wild pace. You have to make sure you're getting everything right to ensure patient outcomes are positive. Even though the hospital will say they're trying to save the patient as much money as they can, things happen. If you're in charge of something that's needed fast and you can't get it fast enough, the patient is charged thousands of dollars by the minute. That can weigh on one's shoulders. The pay isn't worth it. Part timing and going to school for anything related to this field while not worrying about bills is the only reason to have this job. It just doesn't get the respect it deserves to convince higher ups that the pay should be much higher. You may be hired as "entry level" but you will be expected to do study on your off hours for a certificate that doesn't get you a raise or garuntee higher pay on considering relocation.
