Precision Diagnostics

I spent two years with precision diagnostics. It's not a typical office scenario, and this job is not for everyone, but it is certainly simple to perform. By far, this was a dream job when I first started, getting part time hours for pretty much full time pay. The role was primary toxicology collections, but my role aside from that was data entry and packaging. All in all the process takes maybe 5 minutes, but the trick is you might end up doing that 3 times a day, you might end up doing it up to 50 times a day. Depends on the day. They expected someone that was able to operate independently as I never personally met any of my managers in the two years that I was there, but I did have meetings with wonderful field representatives who did everything to make sure the client was happy, aka make sure you have a job. To handle this job, you should have both medical experience, office experience, and high tolerance. Low stress though. Nobody is going to come and audit your office, so it is up to you to maintain according to the employee handbook how to handle documents properly so you represent your employer well. That is another thing, as the sole employee on site most days, I was the front facing representative for Precision Diagnostics in that office, so as such I had to maintain professionalism at all times at a higher level than most positions I've experienced.

Great company but there were pay inequalities while I was employed. Which lead to me leaving the company abruptly. Gained a lot of job skills  and experience working in a field that I have always wanted to be in. Company propelled my career options into a field that I am currently certified now. The hours were perfect, conditions were ideal and I would not have left if there was pay equality and courtesy for emergency situations. Clients and parallel level co-workers were incredible to work with and engage professionally with when necessary. Corporate management was fantastic when interactions were required of me, meetings, calls or emails. My location/region supervisor was okay but not fair when it came to pay equality and professional courtesy. She felt is was okay for me to train new employees who were paid more than I was but not okay for me to ask for the same rate of pay that was equal to new employees.

Majority of current employees when I worked there worked together at a previous company and if you were hired outside then you were treated as such. Very “ clicky” employees and poor management. Lack of training which sets you up for failure which is what management wants if you aren’t young or worked with the employees previously. They are quick to fire and have unethical practices. They should focus more on training and helping new employees succeed rather than playing favorites and not giving new employees a chance to learn. They were more concerned about taking current employees and business away from the managers previous employer/competitor then training new employees. 
My advice..Don’t work for this company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
All the employees are great, lots of support. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
After the company was acquired by an investment firm everything started to change. Started to have way to many managers that couldn't seem to get on the same page. Market support started dropping, goals always changing, the structure started dropping. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was great at first. And even after everything changed all of the employees were still great. Culture at first was fantastic, but that again all changed after it was sold. The company is expanding very fast but they have not expanded the support staff which has put a major strain on any type of technical support you may need when in the field.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Once you learn your assignment, you just do your thing. Minimal supervision and the regional manager is amazing!!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I haven't had any stressful moments.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I work alone except for the employees of the facility that Im assigned to. I have a great relationship with them!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I only work on Fridays, I go in to the facility, the paperwork and samples (urine) are already there, I input the data into the computer, draw any bloodwork that has been ordered and prepare the samples for shipping.

Was a collections tech.

My first concern w/ companies is always how much they cave to the recent administrative/HR mindset. Precision isn't too bad for 2024 but there will be some inappropriately ideological training and cultural coldness.

The work itself varies greatly by contract but overall it's a rewarding job despite its off-putting tasks. Not a job to zone out at; attention to detail is critical not just for your employer's sake but for the lives of those involved in testing. I always found that moral reality a great motivator.

New management shake-up; not sure how things are run now but usually it's one or two testers with a supervisor coming by weekly or monthly to check in. Expect to take responsibility for the clinic(s) you service.

At Precision Diagnostics, its all about helping the clients. People have names and should never be treated as a number. Our core values created a personal connection to each and every client. Our professionalism and final results created loyalty. Our final results created the trust that our clients have for the entire team at Precision Diagnostics. Leaving Precision Diagnostics was the hardest part of my job. Saying goodbye to a remarkable staff, a management team that inspired excellence, and all the wonderful people that made it a pleasure to work with everyday, was definitely, the hardest day at Precision Diagnostics.

Management is helpful, Job is consistent.   No room for advancement.  You are still on the clock while you drive home and drop the specimens off at the end of the day. Great for someone wants to work part time in a low stress environment.  Must have attention to detail and know how to control inventory.  Must be able to work independently and also working with the doctor, nurses and medical assistants in the clinic(s) you are assigned to. Must wear scrubs, masks and gloves.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The work culture is inviting and managers are willing nvolved.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing stresses me out. There is plenty of support available if you need it

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very diverse and culturally relevant.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I get to work and organize for the day. Observe collections, process them in the computer, check all information is correct and package up specimens to be sent out. You will need to be detail oriented.

Precision Diagnostics was a great company to work with however, they dropped their division working with hospitals.

As Director of Business Development I was given the opportunity to start the new division working with hospitals and their partner physicians and clinics.  

This included travels, meeting new hospitals/ physicians/ clinics and working with their " decision makers" in contracting to provide urine testing for prescription and illicit drugs
