Pros

Amazing culture in microbiology. Can't speak for the rest of the lab, we don't interact much with other departments Direct managers take concerns seriously Good pay (SEIU Union 4% raise annually to account for inflation and 4% raise yearly based on experience so total 8% yearly increase) No phlebotomy or patient interaction. Phlebotomy is its own department so chem, heme, etc doesn't do draws

Cons

Not many opportunities for upward mobility Long hours PTO awarded based on seniority (SIEU union) Upper management has no regard for lab concerns. We've lost 8 people since I started and no plans to hire. Quest merger was bad for patient care and a bad business decision Many times business decisions outweigh the needs of the patient
