When I first started working here, it was the beginning of the COVID pandemic. I really enjoyed working and would have given the company 5 stars! We had free meals/snacks daily and unlimited overtime. As an employee, I felt appreciated and always up to date with company news. Any time I had a question or a problem it was handled promptly.

Fast forward to now: 

Communication is abysmal. If you send an email or directly talk to upper management, anticipate following up for a response several times. Also, while I appreciate free meals on Fridays, it would be nice if we could vote for a restaurant or at least know what is being served ahead of time.

There's also no consistency in policies or job duties. I understand the company is fairly new and quickly expanding, but it's stressful trying to keep up with everything. Employees are always asked to work harder with no incentives or recognition. We are overloaded with time sensitive tasks and projects, but aren't allowed overtime.

This company lies from the beginning. The rules are constantly changing. The people you have to rely on are constantly messing up/lying/ making your job harder. You are on call about 4 times a month. On those days they have until 6pm to give you however many stats that come in. If one is two hours away you are still expected to do it. That is on top of the 9-13 hours of work they give you daily. They tell you to take your breaks but if they see the car stopped for 10 minutes they text and call asking what you’re doing. You can’t vape in the cars. There are cameras in the cars that a lot of people have access to. The company is unprofessional and there is a lot of favoritism. They tell people they will let them take a company car home and then make excuses as to why they can’t. Nobody in the office is ever held accountable but as a phlebotomist you will be responsible for others mistakes. Scheduling is a nightmare and changes in the middle of the day. 

I’m giving this place 5 stars. I’ve been here since 2020, so I’ve really seen how much it’s changed over time. Over the past couple of years with new management, the changes have honestly been great. Communication is better, things feel more organized, and the overall work environment has improved a lot.

It’s been nice being part of a team that’s moving in a positive direction and actually making changes that matter. I enjoy working here and feel appreciated in my role, which makes a big difference.

Overall, I’m really happy to be here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a positive workplace.

Disorganized management with poor communication and direction. Often doing work of multiple positions. Projects were frequently expected to be completed in an unreasonable time frame. Regularly felt like I was not taken seriously or respected by superiors. Often given "promotions" with increased responsibilities, projects, and stress without any change in salary or position title. Projects were pushed and rushed because they were of “top priority” only to later be disregarded and forgotten by management. Workplace drama occurred very frequently. Very high turnover rate with many people recently leaving the company. Insufficient pay and little opportunity for growth. Overall, I would not recommend working here. 

Just started not too long ago and they're are favorites for sure. I'm not too fond of my supervisor and the work is so tedious. Not the first lab I've worked at and I feel like they're other (easier) options for the work they are doing. They're are instruments now that do automation, so why subject yourself to more stress? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I cannot get behind any of this. The work I do is like factory work, you do the same mundane tasks everyday. Wouldn't recommend this place if you have standards at all. They are short staffed and complain about having to stay over. It's not my responsibility to stay and help if I've come in early. Management needs to find the extra help and everyone is so condescending/passive aggressive. They need a lot of improvement!

What is the best part of working at the company?
There wasn't any good part... The company lacked professionalism and weren't knowledgeable in alot of areas... They will let you go to hire the next person to work for less if you make too much... Their turn around for employment is high.. They switched their entire HR employees 3x in 3 years!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hectic! I asked for a PT help numerous times and they never listened!

Don’t expect anything from these people. They lie and don’t follow through with anything that they say they will “offer”. The mangers don’t manage and you will need to keep up with your pay stubs to make sure you are getting paid for the hours you work. If you have family or kids forget ever having a life, only the office can leave on time NEVER the phlebotomists. It’s a joke and they treat employees like garbage. It’s not worth the time and effort. The rules change daily the communication is terrible and the hours will range anywhere from 12-18 hours with one weekend off a month if you’re lucky! Scheduling is a nightmare with these people! Nobody can do their job accordingly and they love to play stupid. 

These people had me working in about 10 facilities alone. I’d work a 14 hour day and they ask me to go out again and when I refuse, because I needed sleep before the next shift, the reply I got was: “we have people that work 22 hours a day”. Yeah well I don’t know about that but I didn’t sign up to work like a dog. They don’t care about your safety! 
The instructions as to what facilities to go to was vague and rarely correct and the. They get upset because you’re somewhere they already covered. 
They’ll blow up your phone when something doesn’t go their way but when you need help, good luck getting anyone to answer their phones! 
This company is a joke.
