Pros

Free lunch (but you can potentially get food poisoning) Great Pay & benefits Great opportunity for fresh graduates to get experience Friendly workers

Cons

It’s cool that everyone is relatively the same age, but it can feel like high school sometimes, especially the unnecessary drama. My biggest complaint was that I was hired (along with 10 other people) when COVID cases began to slow down. I thought it was really poor of management to overhire, although I was grateful for the opportunity. However, after one month of working, they began implementing many ridiculous policies to shorten people’s hours & to actually set people up for termination. This is especially hard on new hires who are trying to adapt, and plus, aren’t we all human? Yet, they heavily penalize for minor mistakes that doesn't even affect the quality of the sample. On the same week that policy was implemented, they laid off 49% of the workers & there were a LOT of us. It felt like a waste of time to apply in the first, especially when HR & upper management had already given us a hard time during the hiring process (don’t even get me started). Anyway, this experience should was absolutely devastating & the emotional distress that I’ve had within the two months working here was not worth it.

Curative, Inc. Response

Thank you for sharing your experience. We take it to heart. Every member of the team is valued and the contributions made towards eradicating Covid-19 are greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, the pandemic is unpredictable, and we have had to react as new information is released and needs are defined. When reduced hours or layoffs are necessary, we have strived to make the transition as smooth as possible inclusive of extending additional compensation and benefits to those affected, when possible.

Pros

Easy instructions regarding when I first started the job and the training, and day to day work was very manageable.

Cons

Often the testing site did not have any visitors so there were stretches where we would do nothing all day.

Pros

-Some people in the company will have your back and give you a chance to show your skills -Some of the people here are very helpful(someone a lower level than me who probably should have been my level helped me so much)

Cons

-They promote negative competitions -You get a gift card like once a year and they tax it on your next check -Once we noticed salaried employees should get unlimited PTO across the company's policy; we all banded together- the loophole was to make us all hourly instead of giving us what the company offered for salary employees which they made us salary in 2 weeks after we fought the policy -The company makes many promises to everyone but can't keep it -CNs are what keeps this company afloat yet treated like slums -They hire and promote their friends in a short time while others fight for growth(not related to me but I have seen and heard some of the worse things from people who want to move up in this company. I wouldn't even dare try because they are becoming TOXIC) -They often use a group of their best employees for different things but never reward or promote them
