The benefits are good. You have many options to choose from, although it is a little more expensive. They do performance reviews and you able to get a raise every year based on your performance. The pay is competitive but depends on what your tenure is.

Minpunten

I worked for Ascension and they sold us to Labcorp. I love how the CEO of Labcorp said we have a lot in common, but the only thing we have in common is that we all do lab work. Labcorp is a reference lab so they cater to a completely different demographic of patients. Hospital labs are for people that need results now, not 3-5 days from now. They are 2 completely different entities. The crossover to Labcorp was rough. People have left this hospital because of it. Also, hospital labs are 24/7 whereas Labcorp is a Mon-Fri lab. So we had issues with getting the extra pay for working weekends. The referral department is a mess. When we have crazy tests that the doctors order and have to be sent out, their send out menu is atrocious. We never know if we are sending it to the right facility and the Labcorp results don't always cross over into the Hospital system. So we are getting calls from doctors wondering where their results are. Since Labcorp is a for profit organization, if we have a tech leave, their spot isn't open right away to hire on for that position. We have to prove that we need that position filled to show that it is needed. So if we have a night shift leave (and we only have 2 night shifters), we have to PROVE we need that position filled by having all the rest of the employees doing overtime and getting burnt out. Labcorp is not meant to be in a hospital system. They are a reference lab and should stay as just a reference lab system. It's been a mess to get the CEO and higher ups to understand that we are 2 different entities and that we don't run as a reference lab. We need staffing to provide care for patients that need their results now.

Very low proc rate. I can draw blood with my non dominate arm as well. I've done many split shifts for LabCorp. I've traveled a lot for LabCorp. Sometimes 2hrs in a single day. I go above and beyond. In so much that Advanced Cardiology only wants me to be their tech and no one else. They love having me as their tech. I take out Advanced Cardiology's trash and boxes to the dumpster for them. I do deep dives to ensure the very rare specialty tests are done exactly the way the doctors want them since these test codes are rarely given. And when PTs want a curtesy copy sent to another doctor I make sure to put it in the system and make an additional attachment,. Which makes the PTs very happy😁I also cover Rowan OB/GYN at night when ask at the Sper of the moment. I'm very willing to go above and beyond for my supervisor. I stayed on the clock even though I pulled a muscle around my ribcage and I was struggling to breath; it was hard to keep my asthma under control...I didn't want to inconvenience LabCorp by leaving. So I went to the hospital after my shift.

Minpunten

speed even though I've done a 25 PT volume IOP by my self.

None whatsoever. Everything they advertise as a pro has fineprint that renders it completely useless.

Minpunten

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.
