Quest Diagnostics Las Vegas The Leader in Cost Cutting

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are liked by the Las Vegas SLT your job will be safe. Younger cheaper workers accepted.

Cons

Quantity over quality. The Las Vegas Senior management is OK with letting specimens go bad as long as it cuts over time. They would rather inconvenience a patient by having them have to come back versus pay for OT that would take care of the specimens.

Don't expect high raise, it's very small like ten or fifteen cents.
