Pros

Good Pay & Benefits: Competitive pay, solid benefits, and decent overtime opportunities depending on experience and work ethic. Interesting Work: The work itself was fulfilling and provided room for growth and professional development. Nice Office and Cafeteria: The building in Clifton is modern and pleasant, with a good cafeteria offering a variety of food options.

Cons

Toxic Work Culture: The environment was often poisoned by rumors and gossip, which made it difficult to feel comfortable and focused. Personal information was shared without respect for confidentiality. Unfair Management: Supervisors like Sarvjeet Singh and Group Lead Marween Dues showed bias, which created an uneven work atmosphere and affected team morale. Violation of Privacy After Leaving: After I left Quest Diagnostics, I was deeply hurt to learn that Group Lead Wilma De Guzman shared personal details about my transition that I had not yet disclosed. Despite my explicit request for confidentiality, this information was spread among my former coworkers. This breach of privacy occurred after my departure but still left me feeling exposed and disrespected. It was a violation of my trust that affected me personally and emotionally. Mental Strain: The constant gossip and disregard for personal boundaries were mentally exhausting and contributed to a negative work experience that I couldn’t sustain.

Pros

- PTO - Flexible within some departments

Cons

- The minute I submitted disability accommodations they denied them. - I got in trouble for going out of the lab for water breaks. - You’d get in trouble for chatting with a coworker even if you were still working. - Always increasing specimens accepted to the lab so workers experience an overload. Company is definitely quantity over quality. = stressful workday. - They never listen to employees on how the environment can improve. - Also dangerous location. Car break ins, and auto-theft all day. - Rotating weekends, and holiday hours. - Bad holiday and OT pay rate. (Its time and a half while other company’s are double or even triple time)
