Pros

Benefits were pretty substantial. Low cost healthcare and transport aid

Cons

Management was so focused on test numbers that their entire workforce got burnt out and then they adjusted their attendance policy to be stricter. And then they threw in mandatory overtime on top of it. Stressed me out enough that my body was releasing stress often enough that i had to leave the floor semi frequently and they let me go because of it.

Pros

benefits are pretty good. cafeteria on-on-site. near constant overtime opportunities.

Cons

did i mention some of that overtime is mandatory, and the supervisors will give you until the end of the pay period to do it (after announcing it two days into the current one)? this is because the workload keeps increasing due to new clients/existing ones sending more specimens, but supervisors explicitly refuse to hire more staff - especially for weekend shifts when they need it the most. sick pay is tracked separately from PTO but means absolutely nothing anymore. if you have to call out within 24 hours of your shift, whether it's sick pay or not, you get hit with increased disciplinary action. thank goodness your debilitating chronic pain or sudden illness gives you a 24 hour hard up, right? (this decision was made without consulting any actual processors and the supervisors have made it clear they aren't actually listening to our concerns and aren't going to consider compromising unless we make them.) they're cracking down on "downtime" too. anyone talking to coworkers, even while still being productive, is at risk of being punished. they are aware that we're unhappy, and they don't want us to talk about it or do anything about it. they want us isolated and desperate to keep our jobs. don't buy into their "values" saying they put patient care first. if they actually put patient care first, they wouldn't be creating a hostile work environment that causes more mistakes and compromised specimens by stressed, overworked staff. this place hasn't been one of the best jobs in utah in years.
