Don't work here - Administrative Assistant Dorevitch Pathology Employee Review

Amazing work environment for career development

No issue with the workplace

Wonderful team and comprehensive training for someone with no lab experience.

Poor remuneration & obscene workload. Consequently, staff retention rates are rock bottom. I would say this is why there is constant understaffing, but that's because the company will not (or cannot) allocate more funds to staffing and staff requisition. A recent change in upper middle management following a restructure resulted in significantly reduced casual rostering, leaving full and part timers to pick up the slack since they are 25% cheaper to roster. This change and the reasoning was not communicated to the wider team, reinforcing the impression of shadowy management and underhanded tactics to the benefit of executives and detriment of staff. Expect to routinely do 6+ days in a row, split weekends, and 2-4 different shifts in one roster. Pay WILL be docked for being >1 minute and 59 seconds late, overtime is only paid if approved, i.e., lots of unpaid overtime, unless you like leaving your team in a lurch. Your well-being is of no concern to the company, only your output.
