Pros

Shift differential was somewhat acceptable but hourly rate was subpar.

Cons

No leadership, shallow relationship between managerial staff and hourly workers, terribly long hours due to mandatory overtime without support. Only allowed a 30 minute break which is up to you to take when you please. Office people leave by 3pm and only people in the lab are the associates. 3 people who start at 3pm are in charge of closing up the lab in addition to preparing samples and doing QC/retain and decontamination no matter how late you have to stay. Extremely toxic place to work. College grads, don't fall for it. Get a better job elsewhere, they take advantage of the energy you have and use all they can get.

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.
