Don't Waste Your Time - Phlebotomy Trainer EmpowerMe Wellness Employee Review

Long hours, short time on deck. Made the money while I could. Whole department either resigned or was laid off in under 2 yrs, horrible benefits- the worst I have EVER seen. They switched from traditional PTO to flex (unlimited) PTO which is no benefit when you are constantly working, so make sure you request your time off. Many trainers resigned before being laid off and the reason was mainly due to the organization delaying to implement a strong program around DEI. I could also smell the clinical team's thoughts, thinking they could teach and do our jobs better than we could. They never allowed us to flourish as the experts and the non-lab people (ADOs and RVPs) were very critical and damning of our work. The Clinical Team are simply google experts. This place hired a Chief People Officer, restructured their HR team, created a culture committee, but I never heard of black or brown people included. Executive and senior leadership team is made of mostly white men and only one black woman is on the company's website. The President of Diagnostics is condescending and was very hands off and barely spoke to our team, which was majority African American.
