Pros

When you first arrive many of your fellow employees are amazing, very nice and helpful. If you are an independent worker then the DNA section is God sent. There is an hour of lunch and if you are a fast worker then you can enjoy all of it. The spring and summer months are lighter to work.

Cons

I have literally seen every one of my testing coworkers cry with the amount of stress and work put on them. Every age/creed. The supervisors Mayra and Priti at best are overworked and at worst can be extremely vindictive and passive aggressive. Due to the stress level most people quit within a few months. I stayed eight months and that was considered long (six is average). At least three people left during the time I was there. This causes understaffing and forces everyone who is left to work the job of about two people at the least depending on the job. Many of my coworkers have been reprimanded for not using their entire lunch because they forget/don't go because of the large work load. If you ask any of the older lab staff for a genuine opinion of working there they will probably say run. Do not take this advice lightly.

Pros

Glassdoor reauirez 5 words here.

Cons

Where to start? They bill themselves as the 3rd largest lab, but if you look at revenues around the industry that is a lie.they are headed up by 2 people, both of whom were let go by Quest. Every senior level person got their position based on who they know, not what they can do. The company has no strategy, and no idea who they are (BioReference, Genpath, GeneDx). They lack the needed testing for specialists, have higher pricing, yet say they are the best. People back stab constantly as much of the leadership is so ignorant they fear any person with half a brain. They don't pay bonuses or give raises. During COVID they furloughed 30% of theor staff while leadership continued to take their full pay. The only way anyone should work here is if you need a paycheck to survive. Otherwise steer clear of this place as it is the absolute worst company to work for.
