Pros

As a phlebotomist in an always short-staffed, extremely busy area I got a lot of experience and developed into an excellent phlebotomist enabling me to MOVE ON!

Cons

It's a big corporation that has a lot of slogans like, "You matter (employee)!" and "Patients first." The reality is the almiighy buck is what matters to QUEST DIAGNOSTICS. Employees are overworked (in my area anyway) and subjected to meetings filled with warnings about ALL the things you can do to get yourself fired. Hardly ever a positive or appreciative word for how you work like a dog. Patients are treated poorly by being subjected to disgruntled, overworked employees and unreasonably long wait times to get their blood drawn.

Pros

Good pay and stable benefits

Cons

Toxic Corporate work culture makes staying hard. You get more work for little recognition, you have to fight with management to use your benefits. Fight for the use of vacation time.
