Pros

The training was great and we were put up in a hotel for a month. Felt very prepared for the job going into it

Cons

Fast forward 3 years and were doing hundreds of samples a day while new wave of 3 ornso hires complain about the work. It was completely demoralizing and felt all the pressure put on a few of us. The regional manager came in and said we needed to pick it up after we doubled numbers 2 years in a row. I was burnt out and over it. Felt disrespected and left

Pros

Great bosses, structured support from corporate office, workload is manageable compared to other labs I’ve worked for, overall culture is good

Cons

Benefits and pay aren’t great, particularly the benefits, they’re a little pricey and outside of preventative care, don’t cover enough imho, 401k is very low to where it’s almost nonexistent

Pros

- Job is straightforward - Management is pretty lax

Cons

- Lacks managerial oversight - Very little PTO - Unsafe - If you do not have a Bachelor's Degree, you will probably not be advancing very far at this company. Management will lead you on, but will always give preferential treatment (bonuses, analyst positions, etc.) to people with more schooling.
