Pros
The hospital itself has great benefits, and frequently tries to bring departments together through little events.
Cons
These pertain specifically to the Molecular Diagnostics lab; Management act different from what they say. They instill fear in their employees. There's for sure a certain level of Stockholm Syndrome vibe in the lab. Employees are treated like children. The supervisor's knowledge of techniques is mediocre at best. If an employee knows more it will not be appreciated. Because of this the lab runs many unnecessary controls, and there is a ton of troubleshooting for things that are not wrong. In the end no changes are made, or additional controls are set up. All these result in waste of company resources, delayed reporting of results, unnecessary extra workload, and a poor morale overall. In addition to this, management will cut some employees a lot of slack having them do only 1 thing, while others carry most of the workload. Verbally team work is promoted, but in practice it's not allowed. If the work is not done the person who works hardest normally is written up and those who do much less get away with it. Employees are often being written up for other's wrongdoings. Workload is by far not divided equally. There's very little cross training, and many employees do only one test or only part there off for years. Management likes to pick on their employees and there's a certain degree of ageism going on. Management likes to create situations so that employees will fall in a trap. Management enforces non-payed on-call time. All these result in a high turn-over of employees, low morale.
