lab technician - Lab Technician ALS Global Employee Review

Very much quantity rather than quality. The standard practice is to hire three new staff, see which one works the fastest, then sack the other two. Quite often only a weeks probation period is given to new staff, and if they can't keep up with the ludicrous pace, they get sacked. The speed at which one is expected to work, and the number of food samples tested mean that microbiological techniques are not followed correctly, and staff don't even wear gloves or store food samples properly. (No wonder that use by dates are so inaccurate.)
