GoPath Laboratories

There is little to no communication within the entire company, pay is low and very much varies from person to person in an unfair manner,  there is no allocated sick time (they use your PTO),  management doesn’t care about you or your quality of work (only the quantity), mistakes will be reprimanded (but not addressed with you until that point),  if HR receives a concern management is retaliatory, management and sales team are constantly adding client accounts without hiring additional help in departments to compensate for high workloads, the workplace building is unsafe and always having health issues (mold, sewage in bathrooms overflowing, soap and paper towels not being restocked), the equipment you are given to work with constantly has problems that they try to repair cheaply (leading to more problems), management is always implementing new programs and procedures before they are fine-tuned,  the company’s solution to not paying a living wage is buying lunch once in a while, yearly reviews are skewed and often not completely true in order to avoid decent raises, management is not flexible on PTO requests despite themselves never working weekends or holidays and often using their own PTO for a week at a time at their convenience, and the list goes on.

Listen up! Yes, GoPath does have some management issues, but they are working on them in a productive way. I know they went through some financial problems a few months ago, but they have now kicked out all of the toxic waste from the company (board members) and have a robust new partnership with another player in the Pathology services industry. What does this mean? growth. I joined GoPath for a few weeks now, and yes many of the reviews here were pretty accurate and they addressed that to me. I also notice their new efforts. A huge focus on technology and collaborative work. If you apply and get called in for an interview, ask all the questions you want! even the uncomfortable ones. They loved answering all of my questions and addressed all of my concerns. They genuinely care about each employee and their future here. I would encourage you do that if you get the chance. You will also be given a tour of the facility, ask more question then, too.

Co-workers were nice, but working here was an incredibly draining experience. You are constantly overworked and forced to use outdated equipment that almost never works the way it’s supposed to. Management is basically invisible, leaving everything to supervisors. The culture is very uncomfortable; if you get even slightly off-track, corrections are often made publicly, which impacts team morale. The worst part is the safety. Almost no one follows basic protocols or wears PPE, and the lab always smells like xylene and formaldehyde because protocols are not strictly enforced. The work is so behind the times that you don't even get good experience to help you find a better role later. If you take a job here, start looking for your next one on day one.


As a molecular tech, you are thrown in with work up to your neck and expectations are completely unrealistic. You are punished with “points” against you for every mistake you make, with threat of suspension or dismissal, if those points reach a certain amount. You are offered the bare minimum in terms of pay and you will NOT be given any opportunity for advancement. This company is focused on completing as many tests as possible In the smallest time possible with no regard for your sanity or feelings. You may be told to work overtime without pay. If you decline, you will be punished and possibly terminated. If any of this sounds like something you might like, GoPath diagnostics would be a perfect fit for you!

A typical day may include any of the following: travel within the assigned territory (MO, IL, KS), cold calling, meetings and lunches with physicians/clinic administrators, existing account management, on boarding new accounts and keeping it all organized.

I worked here briefly and this place is extremely unorganized. Theirs only like 40 people working here and everybody their is extremely weird and a lot of gossip. No real room for growth save your resume. Over the past year it has been at lease five new managers. This company does not check references or do background screening & they handling extremely important specimens LOL! Any convict can come here and apply. From what I was told by co-workers previous employers had criminal backgrounds!

The company knows it's business but is struggling to grow in a manner that benefits it's employees and clients. COmmunication has been a constant issue. Some leadership delivering different stories or policies than the other. The company as a whole lacking a defined message on key aspects of their business. That said management is professional and supportive.

This is an amazing company that I am now a part of. I love every day at work! GoPath recently purchased a new building that will house the laboratory and all staff. The place to work is very comfortable with large conference room, large parking lot. The staff are friendly and everyone works as a team. CEO of the company, Dr. Jim Lu is a highly qualified specialist pathologist. The company is growing in terms of research and development in the field of cancer research. 

Unsanitary lunch room and bathrooms, no raises even to the most tenured employees, overworked employees due to financial constraints. Watch out for this company, they do not care about employee well-being. Insurance takes months to get information on, no management, meetings that just pawn more work on the employees and accomplish nothing. Gossip runs this company because there is no management.

Perfect company to grow with and advance. If you love the Lab setting and industry this would be a great place to work. Any company you go to has its own problems and issues but what I see about GoPath is that each department is willing to make necessary changes to improves and strive to be the best. Management is always willing to listen to ideas that will help better the company. Lucky to be part of this company.
