Pros

the pay was okay, I learned a lot about professionalism and I appreciated that they were willing to train people with no experience. This job really helped me get opportunities after it that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

Cons

Management have business degrees, not science. They're often hired in, not promoted from within the company. There are professionals there who work hard, but they should be honest and humble about the fact they aren't aware of the science that is going on. I had to basically train my supervisor. She had other duties so it wasn't the biggest deal though. When I left, they took away the job title I was performing because no one was qualified to do it. I was literally begged to stay. They should have appreciated me and paid me more money for the work I was doing way way ahead of time. WORST part: crazy overtime, crazy pressure to do the overtime "or else" usually there is no or else, it is intimidation and that is it. please feel free to leave at the end of your contracted shift! don't let them bully you out of your life like i did. I was promoted TWICE and never got a pay raise. Ridiculous. Also sexism can be bad, but as women will know it can be bad in any professional environment.

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.
