Pros

Its a job, thats about it.

Cons

They run the business chronically under staffed. We work double the way we should. If quality was really a goal, then we would have enough workers. If you make a mistake you hear about 100 times from 5 different people. I never see my superviser and the only time I DO hear from them is when i mess up.

Pros

Benefits are pretty good and the pay is good. Lots of opprtunity if you want to assume various positions and or take advantage of the tuition education programs.

Cons

Need more help in the phlebotomy positions. They work very hard and have a big responsibility lots of job duties and low pay. It is a very difficult job dealing with people wno may not be feeling well.
