Pros
One of the supervisors the best I’ve ever had ; he really looked out for the employees and created a really positive atmosphere to work in the way he interacted with the team, communicated what he knew, and trained everyone on the more technical processes with the machines used to run samples.
Cons
I think that 99 % of the problems come from upper management that oversaw the lab. To name a few things that were problematic- constant double standards implemented by upper management concerning which policy’s should be followed and which should be ignored, completely non-compliant lab practices involving which samples are run vs rejected (I’m pretty sure some of the things they had the staff doing could get this place shut down, the doctor that ran the lab couldn’t not be trusted and was completely full of himself. Upper management would always show strong favoritism for anyone that blindly follow orders without question and the expectation was 12+ hour days without time off for weeks an end. The pay is below industry standard, the procedures are over complicated by unnecessary, pointless steps. Some of the leads that often trained people were more concerned with being in charge than doing a good job or learning the fundamentals of what they do for a living.
