good job if you like being overworked and underpaid - Lab Assistant II HealthTrack Employee Review

the supervisors are immature and unprofessional. they nitpick and micromanage while none of them are on the same page, to the point where you’d get a different answer to a question depending on who you ask. they make flimsy excuses when you bring problems to their attention just to get you to shut up. one supervisor in particular had the tendency to be very argumentative and clearly did not like any form of criticism, constructive or otherwise. and HR wonders why people keep their grievances bottled up and end up quitting instead of bringing problems to attention… little to no opportunity for advancement. in my 2 years working there i got maybe 1 puny raise and 1 promotion. they make it sound like there is a direct track from the Lab Assistant position to Lab Tech but it’s a lie to string you along and keep you as a glorified sweat shop worker. incompetent management, decision making is questionable… it’s like watching monkeys throwing poop at the wall to see what sticks. goals are unattainable and keep getting higher, and when you don’t hit their unrealistic goals they ask what YOU are doing wrong, not the other way around. feedback often falls on deaf ears as management insists they know better than those working the floor. they’ll also fire you without notice or without giving a reason. most people find out they’re fired via voicemail or when they show up for their shift and their badge doesn’t work. also, no sick time? at an infectious disease lab? wth??
