What is the best part of working at the company?
work from home, benefits are excellent.  Some of the clients (nurses/MA's at providers' offices) are very sweet.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Supervisors/managers are promoted into their positions from other departments, sometimes having no experience in their new field.  Office politics reigns supreme, and favored employees are completely untouchable no matter how ineffective, inept, or completely absent they are, and the less favored (also read: hardest workers) are expected to pick up the slack.  If you are not among the favored employees, any time you attempt to contribute an idea or solution you are ruthlessly silenced, and then your employee evaluation will say that you shove your opinions down others' throats, but don't contribute to the team.  Some of the clients (doctors) can be extremely rude when their impossible expectations aren't met.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
toxic. toxic. toxic.  Advancement and raises are ostensibly based on evaluations, but the evaluation criteria are so subjective that a supervisor can give everyone any grade they choose.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in, catch up on emails that came in since last night, follow up on cases that need follow-ups on, and get on the call queue.  Wonder why one of your co-workers is listed as "not ready" on the queue while calls are holding.  Help providers' offices get test results, add tests on, schedule pickups, and resolve problems with incoming specimens.  Wonder why that same co-worker still hasn't taken a call in the past half hour

During orientation you are told you will have 4 weeks of training. They push you right into working on your own as soon as you walk in on your first day. There is no training. Training is the supervisor explaining what to do one time and then leaving you on your own. There is so much to learn and with no training it is even more difficult to get to a point where you can confidently work on your own. The supervisors do not like to answer questions and are always claiming to be too busy to help even though all they do is walk around, talk, and take smoke breaks. The other workers were great. It was good getting to meet and work with good people. Do not work here if this will be your first time working in a lab or you will be lost.

Everyday was a worse experience. Literally no training. Although entertaining to see two people smiling and hanging with eachother then, hear how bad they talk about one-another when separated. Facilities are not clean, and have vermin. You want to survive? Do your work and socialize with No One. Its amazing to get bloodwork from someone who is talking to friend on they're earpiece while drawing. There is literally no limit to how many attempts someone will do another puncture when failing. I would never let anyone of them draw on myself or my loved ones. Places look like they haven't cleaned in ages.

Typically when you come into work you're tasked with a million different things to do since they are always understaffed. You will be expected to do overtime and they won't even tell you about it, they will just assume you have no other obligations outside of work when you clock out and if you say you can't do overtime the manager will subtly tell you your job is at risk.  This job is very fast-paced and your lunch break will be pushed back because of how understaffed they are. There is mostly overnight shifts so that will make it very difficult to have  any type of work/life balance. The only good thing about this place is sometimes they bring free food and you get benefits after a month.

I've been employed with sunrise for 4 years. The interview process is fairly quick and easy. They ask you about 5 simple questions. Background check takes about a week. Quest is one of our competitors. Business is usually slow. We dont have a high volume of patients. Its an easy job. There's no supervision. You basically run the shift alone. Its a just a dead end job with no room for growth and pay is very low. $17 with exp and $15 without. There is no part time. Full time only. 700-400 pm or 830-500 pm.

a typical day of work is all about the number of specimens processed. management is weak. most of the employees are unhappy. there are no set moral or incentive programs in place. people working there are understandably over stressed and frustrated. the hardest part of the job is dealing with supervisors who are having their own jobs threatened who have become moody. some have come to the point that they enjoy keeping their employees down. I wish I had something to write about most enjoyable, but I can't even say the paycheck was.

Fast-paced work everyday/night, management is nice but not fair sometimes, co-workers are friendly and helpful.  I learned that one mistake in a laboratory with the specimen (i.e:  mis-labelling of the speciment causes life of the patient, money loss of the clients & the company).  The hardest part of the job is when several workers are off and there are lots of specimen to be processed on a timely manner. The most enjoyable part of the job is when all specimen were processed early and everything is done so workers can rest before they go home.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no boss or manager looking over my shoulder all the time.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
 many patients come in at the same time can be overwhelming

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture and work environment can be like high school. But for the most part people are nice

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Drawing people’s blood all day. Some centers close for an hour.

Nice place to work,nice hours, very convenient. I worked by myself, taking care of a Patient Care Service Center with some occasional assistance. 

Hardest part of the job was to take care of send out tests, where instructions for patients and laboratory technicians were unclear, and patients came unprepared (i.e not fasting) for testing.

I enjoyed building relationships with our patients, who came regularly to the laboratory.The company culture was to put patients first, and to treat them like family.
