Pros

The pay is not the worst once the shift differential is added for overnight. Work is fairly consistent with some opportunities for overtime. If you are accustomed to working overnight, accessioning is an easy department for third shift. Some of the supervisors are understanding, honest individuals that really do want to see their employees thriving.

Cons

The accessioning department tends to show favoritism in which employees to train/promote. Twice my paycheck was shorted hours and I had to message HR for a correction, which was then added to my next payroll check rather than paid out right away. Supervisors and management will not accommodate you well if you are pregnant, making you stand for multiple hours and continuously lift 15 lb. bags of specimens until you press for accommodation through a third party leave management company (even for extra restroom breaks during pregnancy). Health insurance, dues, etc. are a 25% deduction from EVERY paycheck for myself and one dependent. Recently the attendance policy has been changed by LabCorp without a Union vote or input from employees to a point system that is much more stringent than the previous policy. One of my hourly pay raises was also done incorrectly and then retroactively corrected months later.

Pros

Very low proc rate. I can draw blood with my non dominate arm as well. I've done many split shifts for LabCorp. I've traveled a lot for LabCorp. Sometimes 2hrs in a single day. I go above and beyond. In so much that Advanced Cardiology only wants me to be their tech and no one else. They love having me as their tech. I take out Advanced Cardiology's trash and boxes to the dumpster for them. I do deep dives to ensure the very rare specialty tests are done exactly the way the doctors want them since these test codes are rarely given. And when PTs want a curtesy copy sent to another doctor I make sure to put it in the system and make an additional attachment,. Which makes the PTs very happy😁I also cover Rowan OB/GYN at night when ask at the Sper of the moment. I'm very willing to go above and beyond for my supervisor. I stayed on the clock even though I pulled a muscle around my ribcage and I was struggling to breath; it was hard to keep my asthma under control...I didn't want to inconvenience LabCorp by leaving. So I went to the hospital after my shift.

Cons

speed even though I've done a 25 PT volume IOP by my self.

Pros

None whatsoever. Everything they advertise as a pro has fineprint that renders it completely useless.

Cons

Wish I could have given zero stars, 1 star feels like lying. The most important thing is that they will mess you over without a second thought. For those who may have just started at the company, quit now before they mess you over. Don't be deceived by the benefits they advertise. Don't think you're valued because they will turn on you the second keeping you as part of the team inconveniences them. They don't pay fairly and blow off people who need to make a living. On top of trash pay, the work environment will have you hating what you do even while you're actively helping people. At PSCs, you're severely overworked and under a microscope. As an IOP, you're underappreciated and taken advantage of. The way they do business is very shady. They constantly have lawsuits against them, Google it. I saw the reviews and didn't listen because I thought a bad job was better than no job in this economy. I was so wrong. For your own mental health, and overall finances, don't work here. EVER. There are other jobs out there that pay fairly and aren't toxic. I found one and am so happy because I could have been trapped in a company going nowhere. Now I am paid what I'm worth and growing in my career, not just stuck choosing between being a phlebotomist, float or a high-stress supervisor. Just wait for a better job. I promise, the trash pay and stress are NOT worth the gas you'll waste driving all over the place even when you're not a float. Just don't do it.
