Training program improved after we got a new team lead Had some fun work events (though my department was so busy we couldn’t participate, or if we did it would add to our already extreme amounts of overtime) Meanwhile, she would take LENGTHY lunches, come and as she pleased, and stand around the department e. If they were 3 - 5 minutes over she'd talk about them behind their backs and if she felt it was becoming too frequent (we're talking literally 3-5 minutes) she'd snidely mention it to them. They would talk about other people behind their backs (one manager would put jelly beans out in the department and then she would talk trash about other women that she thought were eating too many jelly beans! The pettiness doesn't end there! Even though she took it upon herself to buy the jellybeans and put them in the MIDDLE of the department, she was so petty she put a sign up requesting donations to refill the jelly bean dispenser! This woman made more than $90K a year and was petty and would talk trash about a nice lady from the lab over JELLY BEANS! She would also write down the exact minute others would leave for lunch as well as the minute they returned. Up until I worked there, I had always had male bosses and I can say without a doubt that working for the two female managers here was the worst 6 months of my life. I am a woman, and honestly it was the first time I had female bosses and boy did I learn some unpleasant lessons. At first things were great but I soon learned that I worked for the worst department due to the two-faced petty and ridiculously moody managers that were on power trips like I'd never experienced before. I worked in the Quality Assurance Department. The face of Quest isn't horrible though, properl. No culture in this position besides the 30 second conversations you give to other processors because you crave any human interaction after staring at a computer all day.

Workplace culture: You work, you get your breaks, and that's about it. The supervisors and shift leaders who serve mostly as day-to-day supervisors and messengers for upper management were hit or miss (the three in this role when I left were fantastic!), but once it got above them, it was pretty universally unfortunate. Management: Simply put, I empathize for the supervisors and shift leads who serve as messengers, because they have to deliver very poor messages from upper management to the processors. This won't particularly translate to any job that isn't specific to data entry. I became very efficient at my job, putting up "astronomical numbers" according to multiple supervisors. What I learned: I didn't learn any valuable technical skills in this role. I had some other duties related to this, but generally my job can be described as putting barcodes on test tubes 400-600 times a day. Typical day: My main duty as a contract specimen processor was to enter data that processed COVID-19 samples.
#QUEST DIAGNOSTICS PORT ST LUCIE FULL#
I would recommend reading the full thing, but if you can only read one portion, please read my final review and its bullets. At the end you will get the message I want to share to prospective hires.

The first bit of this review is to satisfy the indeed prompted topics. They have a lot of employee turnover, but they do not disclose it and keep looking for lost souls who are. This is why they call it “on call”, because they do not want to pay you for your time working for the company. The company compensates you a very a small amount for canceled appointments, but it is not worth it and you have to fill out forms and wait for someone’s approval, which wastes more of your time. No one knows how much work will be available, when and even if there will be anything, because sometimes applicants do not show for the appointment or they cancel it. This also means that they can call you and rely on you all day long, but they will only pay you if work is assigned to you and completed according to very questionable rules. Plus, since they cannot guarantee any work schedule, they don’t hire full time or part time phlebotomists, but they very creatively call it “on call” position. The problem is that since the lab in Louisville is responsible for Kentucky and West Virginia, hiring of Mobile Examiners has to be done in a semi virtual form. It is a good merger, because Quest has the lab necessary for testing the blood specimens. It is some sort of telemarketing company, that is responsible for life insurance applicants’ medical exams at their homes.

If there is any chance for Quest Diagnostics to completely fall of the boat, it is to have a subsidiary as ExamOne.
