Aculabs, Inc.

My department overall wasn't bad. I enjoyed the travel billing work mostly because it was easy and peaceful, even though it was monotonous. When you do coding, it isn't really actual coding. It is calling nurses at nursing homes to get the diagnosis/codes that they neglected to include when putting in for bloodwork. They are extremely rude and you get frustrated very quickly. I got along well with most of my co-workers and my supervisor. The company overall does not treat their employees well though and does not care about their well-being. The company rules are antiquated and laughable. Policies change often and it gets frustrating to keep up. The time off policy is ridiculous and if you do not have enough time to cover when you are out or sick, you may drop from full time status to part time status, which could affect your health benefits. When you are first employed you are considered part time status even though you work full time hours. You must complete 4 straight months with no time off to reach full time status. If you are out during that time at all, your four months starts again from the beginning. HR/Payroll department are pretty useless when you go to them with issues. They pretend to care and then just gossip behind your back. It is very unprofessional. Health insurance is very expensive and your salary is very low. It is a good place to start at tor a first job just to get experience for your resume and then move on from there. Upper management has "favorites" and shows it often.

When I first graduated Aculabs was the only company to even consider me for an interview. I worked there for only 4 months before getting a job with my current employer. If you are new to phlebotomy, this job is going to be challenging. You are assigned 2-4 nursing homes to go to for morning rounds at 5 AM. There can be as many as 20 patients per facility. You are supposed to finish morning rounds by 9 AM but sometimes after you drop off the blood they ask you to wait around for stats. There were days I sat in my car for hours waiting for stats. A lot of the patients have dementia or mental health issues which can be very stressful to deal with. The main problem I had with this job was that I was not advancing. I was able to teach myself a decent amount, but when you have trouble there is no one else there to tell you what to do next time or to give you tips and teach you. You are totally on your own. You also have to drive quite a bit. I was told I would be working somewhat close to my house, but I never did. Every day you have to drop off the blood at one of the drop off locations. The closest location was an hour from my house. The company is located almost two hours from my house and you need to go there to get supplies. While working here I was seriously questioning my career choice. When I saw a better opportunity, I left the company immediately. The pay is 12 an hour which I thought was decent but now I consider an insult. I make a lot more at my current company. Even with all that said, I would recommend this job to recent graduates just to have something on your resume.

This position is relatively straightforward and offers favorable working hours, which can be beneficial for gaining experience. However, the QA supervisor may exhibit excessive assertiveness, often rushing employees and addressing them in a condescending manner, failing to consider individual circumstances or explanations. The supervisor does not handle situations professionally. Applicants who are recent graduates or lack experience should refrain from applying, as the company claims to provide training; nevertheless, if the trainee does not grasp the concepts within approximately one week, employment may be terminated. The role is suitable solely for experienced Phlebotomists, who should be prepared for a busy workload. Newcomers should be aware that the workload can be intense, although it is more manageable for those who are already proficient. Additionally, the position involves significant driving; mileage is reimbursed, but fuel expenses are not covered. There are opportunities for advancement for those with relevant experience. 

The location is pretty private. Parking can be a pain and you might have to go across the street at the other property just to find a spot. 

I have had no issues with any of the coworkers. They're all relatively nice and help out whenever they can. There will be days that can and will stress you out, but that will be found in every job.
 
While you are given the tools to protect yourself; For the low amount of pay given, you are putting yourself at risk of cross contamination. You could realistically go to any other business with less risk and the same amount of pay. There's truly no advancement unless your end goal is to get experience doing data entry, or if your college profession is in chemistry or biology.

I WOULD, however, recommend any medical or chem college students to work here, as entry level lab experience is rare to find without an internship. The hours are decent, you don't have to wake up too early and you get out later in the afternoon. However the benefits are no good to live off of.

I am currently working for Aculabs and have enjoyed it thoroughly. I joined the team in September of 2020 and quickly learned that hard work gets recognized and appreciated. 
While the company is largely successful, unlike in other corporations, the owners are present everyday and are involved with the operations as well as building relationships with their employees. Throughout the year, Aculabs offers giveaways and is extremely generous, especially around the holidays. 
A lot of positions are entry level and provide an excellent starting point and education for anyone interested in lab careers. When an employee expresses interest in advancing and learning more, the supervisors are quick to do what they can in order to provide a well rounded experience for the employee. 
While there is a lot to learn about clinical laboratories overall, Aculabs has found a way to be a successful company while still giving employees the feeling of being a part of a family. 

Aculabs has such potential to be a truly great company. They bring a great service to the people. And I've worked along some great people. But there are some problems I've seen: It's overly difficult to qualify for basic benefits , or it seems complicated. There is no proper training regarding company policies (giving me the company manual does not constitute proper training.) I received no performance evaluation in my time there (I worked there 14 months.) There is no proper investigative mechanism in place to to address employee conflicts. To be clear, my job was a good experience. I do feel I usually got what I needed to perform my job properly. I was able to take breaks when needed and I had a good schedule. But overall, there needs to be a serious change in how they treat their employees or they will continue to have huge employee turnover.

My experience at this job feels a lot like being back in high school—most of the staff spends the day chatting, and the work environment is cliquey. The tasks themselves are easy once you get the hang of them, but they are very repetitive and quickly become boring. The staff is polite, but it feels superficial, and you only really fit in if you’ve been there for a long time. Communication is poor, and there aren’t many opportunities for advancement. The pay doesn’t match the amount of work expected, and newer employees often end up taking on more tasks while longer-tenured staff barely do theirs. A lot of people seem to spend time watching videos or browsing online instead of doing their job. They were also not upfront about giving me more hours—promised me more, then backed out at the last minute. Overall, it’s an okay job for the short term, but I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone looking to stay long-term.

As a current employee, I can attest to the fact that those who put in the time and effort are recognized & rewarded. Those individuals are presented with advancements that would fill their resume with skills that could open many doors in their future. The company does not solely promote employees on their current/past work history but rather their initiative, motivations and willingness to be a team player. Upper management has been creative with working on employee moral by hosting a number of raffles, offering free lunches, offering bonus pay, etc.  Hourly rates have increased since the pandemic but could be better; the hazard pay helps. This type of work environment may not be for everyone but those who enjoy working for a company where the boss knows your name, would truly enjoy working here.  

I gained alot of experience working with this company  but other than that its a no for me,  I worked hard, I'm supposed to work in Philadelphia but they sent me too Delaware a few times and new jersey I didn't complain when no one else wanted to go I went,  my supervisor did her best to get me a raise after,  being there for almost 10 months they gave me a raise of $1.  It's a no for long term but just for the experience go for it, the mileage compensation is not good either, don't do it stay in your region ,but the upper management they  they are not very nice,  and they don't treat their phlebotomist well, they have a very high turnover, there's no growth whatsoever.


This place is for someone who has no prior work experience in clinical field. It,s a good place to start. Good work hours. Very low pay,not good benefits as they advertise. Very strict policies even when you have serious emergency. It's difficult to digest when you earn your own FTO and need management's approval to use your own FTO. Example... For a 2 hrs doctor's appointment,they will make you take 4.0 hrs or 8.0 hrs,so you burn them quick.So when you need to use them ,you won't have any.
