Pros

labcorp was great to get experience since your patients can vary from pediatrics to geriatrics and everything in between. definitley makes you a stronger phleb and makes you polish up your attention to detail. I credit alot of my experience to the time I worked here.

Cons

you are extremely over worked. they expect you to do front office, billing/insurance, in addition to doing phleb work. often times they leave you as the only patient care tech in the location that is packed with people waiting well over an hour. they are purposefully understaffed and will not provide much help. managers try to help but ultimately corporate calls the shots and will not budge. its quite literally you vs a huge company. not to mention the "VIP" sites in los angeles. In training we were told no one is VIP and to treat everyone equally, even if they are a celebrity. However, working in LA thats a different deal and they will expect you to tolerate verbal abuse from clients in a high paying area like Wilshire. Toxic and rude clients but very hardworking staff that is underpaid.

Pros

None whatsoever. Everything they advertise as a pro has fineprint that renders it completely useless.

Cons

Wish I could have given zero stars, 1 star feels like lying. The most important thing is that they will mess you over without a second thought. For those who may have just started at the company, quit now before they mess you over. Don't be deceived by the benefits they advertise. Don't think you're valued because they will turn on you the second keeping you as part of the team inconveniences them. They don't pay fairly and blow off people who need to make a living. On top of trash pay, the work environment will have you hating what you do even while you're actively helping people. At PSCs, you're severely overworked and under a microscope. As an IOP, you're underappreciated and taken advantage of. The way they do business is very shady. They constantly have lawsuits against them, Google it. I saw the reviews and didn't listen because I thought a bad job was better than no job in this economy. I was so wrong. For your own mental health, and overall finances, don't work here. EVER. There are other jobs out there that pay fairly and aren't toxic. I found one and am so happy because I could have been trapped in a company going nowhere. Now I am paid what I'm worth and growing in my career, not just stuck choosing between being a phlebotomist, float or a high-stress supervisor. Just wait for a better job. I promise, the trash pay and stress are NOT worth the gas you'll waste driving all over the place even when you're not a float. Just don't do it.
