National Blood Testing Collaborative Reviews

If I could give 0 stars, I would. As the headline states, management is horrible. Favoritism is extremely prevalent, and employees who don't "kiss butt" are treated with practically zero respect. In general, regular employees are treated like children and constantly micromanaged, even though they have proven that they're more than capable of doing their jobs. The supervisor loves to gossip, and will pit her employees on different shifts against each other simply to stir up drama. She is also best buddies with HR, so complaining about her behavior to HR will get you nowhere. Lab Assistants are treated as the "grunts" of the laboratory. Be prepared to be the scapegoat for literally everything. If anything goes wrong in the lab, it falls back on you. If another department makes a mistake, management comes to you with the questions instead of the people who actually made the error. And if turn-around-time is slow in another department, guess what? It will magically be the fault of the Lab Assistants. Management never runs out of ways to twist the blame. It's so ridiculous that it's honestly laughable. Night-shift will get away with so much more than day-shift. If the night crew clocks in and leaves for hours on end, not a word will be said to them. On the other hand, employees working during the day will be reprimanded if they clock in and take 30 seconds putting their belongings into their locker. The updated security cameras which were installed for safety purposes are constantly used to threaten the day-shift employees, as management enjoys telling us that "the cameras" catch us on our phones when we have no work to do. Those same cameras never seem to "catch" the night employees also on their phones, or sleeping. Funny how that works. The micromanagement, rudeness, favoritism, and pure incompetence displayed by the supervisor, manager, and director has driven many of the best employees to quit. Nobody is valued for their experience here, and going above and beyond is pointless. I would not recommend this job to anybody.

I honestly wish I could give this place zero stars. Management is terrible and makes the job miserable. Favoritism is a big problem, and if management doesn’t like you for any reason, they will micromanage you and look for reasons to get rid of you over the smallest things. I’ve seen many people quit or get fired because of this. Supervisors talk about employees behind their backs, which is extremely unprofessional. There are also concerns about management watching employees through cameras, which makes the workplace feel uncomfortable and controlling. If you ask for help, they act like you’re bothering them. When something goes wrong, management always finds a way to blame you. If night shift doesn’t report something broken, day shift still gets blamed. Day shift ends up taking the fall for most issues, even when they didn’t cause them. IT is no help either. When something breaks and we need it fixed right away, they just tell us to put in a ticket and walk away. Meanwhile, we still get blamed for not getting work done when the equipment isn’t working. This place is open 24/7, so don’t expect holidays off. If your shift falls on a holiday, you’re working unless you get time approved, which is very hard to get. When the weather is bad, including snow, we’re still expected to come in no matter how far we live. If they let you stay home, you have to use PTO or not get paid, so most people are forced to drive in unsafe conditions. Going to HR is pointless. Anything you say will get back to management and usually makes things worse. It can easily make you a target. You work long hours with only two 15-minute breaks and a 30-minute lunch, and sometimes you miss breaks because it’s so busy. Management doesn’t seem to care how overworked people are. Upper management can come in whenever they want, leave whenever they want, work from home, and take long lunches. But if regular employees talk for a minute during a slow time, we get in trouble. I would never recommend this job, no matter how good the pay sounds. Management at all levels is rude and disrespectful and treats employees like children. The stress isn’t worth it, and employees deserve better. The company was much better when it was run by LifeSouth, before the current management took over.
