BAYLOR GENETICS

Baylor Genetics offers lower pay compared to other labs in the Medical Center area. There is a constant shift in upper management, leading to a very high turnover rate. Many new employees leave within a month or two due to ineffective and micro management. Additionally, working during holidays has become mandatory instead of optional. No work life balance like they advertised. There is a strong demand for skilled techs, yet expectations are surprisingly low for those who frequently make mistakes and doesn’t care enough to fix their own problems . The dedicated techs often bear the burden caused by their less competent colleagues. Mistakes go unpunished, and some employees avoid their responsibilities by wandering around the building and taking extended breaks in various areas. This leaves the hardworking staff to handle an overwhelming workload. Many of those who are less diligent often earn more than those who put in a lot of effort.

Baylor Genetics is an excellent starting point for any recent graduates looking to build a strong foundation in molecular diagnostic, it provides invaluable hands-on experience. However, there is very little room for vertical advancement. Opportunities to move up are extremely limited, leading to a feeling of being stuck and the pay is notably low, but still acceptable. Be prepared to work weekends and holidays are mandatory. Employee turnover is extremely high. In summary, Baylor Genetics offers a prestigious name and fantastic foundational experience. But if you're looking to build a long-term career with competitive pay, clear advancement, and a well-supported work environment, the current structure is disappointing. It's a perfect first job, but you'll likely need to look elsewhere for your second.

The leadership of Baylor Genetics has some amazing goals set for the company. They have a lot of talented people working hard to accomplish these goals.
  The problem is that the administrative level of the company can't seem to tell who is working and who is not. The advancement and compensation assumes everyone is doing equal duty. People working hard rarely stay here long enough to see any advancement. Those who coast tend to get the rewards earned by those who go elsewhere, and everyone's morale dies.
  I hope they can get it together while they still have talent willing to try.

Toxic culture, excessive micromanagement. I was burned out by week 2. Work was piled on day 1. I barely had time to complete new hire trainings.  Daily one on one's. Work status updates to direct manager, manager manager and CEO. Unreasonable expectations with deadlines. No slack. The worst company i worked at. 

Baylor genetics is an awesome place to work, flexible work hours for single parents and no micromanaging, no issues about having your cellphone visible at your desk  while working ,over all its a good place to work . My only issue is the drama and toxic work environment  for me I basically stay to myself do my work and then go home.

Management sucks! They promote and make up titles for themselves while working the other employees to death. No chance for advancement.  HR is the worst. Totally unconcerned. CEO has no clue. Promotes his friends. I received no raise in 4 years. Customer service is awful. Specimen management is a joke! Nepotism is encouraged. Client services is incompetent and so is the manager. Terrcan go

The leadership can't seem to tell who is getting work done. Friends and family are rewarded well. High level Administration is either blind to the nepotism, or complicit.
Turnover is high. Many hardworking technicians are frustrated when they go unnoticed. HR has no idea how to build morale. People that are underpaid, with inept leaders will not stay: no matter how many ice cream socials you schedule.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The training

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Daily deliverables that can impact patient decisions.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Our division is supportive, but very face paced.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Analyzing gene variants for rare diseases, utilizing genomic databases and analytic software for genomic interpretation.

The benefits with the company are great such as the insurance, 401 K, tuition reimbursement $1,200 per year, and a competitive PTO.  
Cons: Ther company is barely breaking even; therefore, your lucky if you'll get a bonus or raise.  Managment attempts to improve to no avail.  There is a lot of nepotism within the company, and those individuals who are in management positions are under qualified.

The pay is below the average. They did not have many great benefits. The retirement was good and then they transferred to a cheaper retirement, so now I am not convinced. We were always trying to catch up, but we did get payed overtime (silver lining)

There are a lot of problems from upper management that trickle down. Job security was great, just don't expect to be promoted.
