Unethical Practices and Exploitative Work Environment
Pros

Cons
GeneScreen operates with blatant disregard for employment laws and employee welfare. The company initially had a "credit" system that allowed employees to earn fair pay through performance, with the potential to make up to $20/hour. However, this system was abruptly removed after furloughs and layoffs, leaving us stuck at a base pay of $15/hour—far below a living wage—while the workload steadily increased. The situation worsened when report quotas rose from 16 to 22+ per day, and the criteria for crediting tasks were unfairly adjusted, effectively cutting our pay further. Upper management shows zero regard for employee concerns, fostering an environment rife with blatant nepotism. For example, the patient services manager hires family members who disregard protocols and burden the team with last-minute tasks, with no accountability or consequences. This company does not value its employees or maintain ethical practices. Genetic counselors and staff alike face undue stress, lack of fair compensation, and a toxic culture. I strongly advise prospective employees or clients to look elsewhere. Former employees on LinkedIn can confirm these issues if further validation is needed.
