Great job right after college

Senior medical technologist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Job stability. Almost no action short harassment or complete apathy toward job can get you fired.

Cons

Benefits are good (used to be great). Slowly chipping away at them. Very minor gains in maternity leave recently for non-physician positions (2 weeks paid instead of 1). Bottom line is clinical labs is a revolving door. Great to start your career but no incentive to stay past 5 years to be vested in WRS. Promotions are few and far between with laughable pay increases.
