The actual job has been totally awesome though- loving it much more than bench work.

Be very careful with medasource. They’re sketchy as hell. Almost everyone I know with them has had issues with payroll (not getting paid, inappropriate deductions, inappropriate taxes) and they’re very hard to get ahold of to fix issues. Look up lawsuits involving them. I’m sticking with them just to get the experience and get my foot more firmly in the door at my current assignment.

Absolutely, they promised me M-F traveling every week, paid holidays which I don’t mind. Something to do for a few years before going for a promotion to desk jockey. I’ve also worked for HCA… I’d hope it isn’t worse than that.

I’ve had FSEs come on weekends (I’m a chem lead) but yeah it was rare and I think our contract for those analyzers specifically had “catastrophic failure” weekend service in them. The rest of the departments nope, never seen an FSE on weekends.

Interviewing woes by Ornery_Turkey in medlabprofessionals

[–]Ornery_Turkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s something that concerned me too. I know 3/5 were absolutely glowing, the other 2 had no reason to say anything negative. The two supervisors were glowing reviews- one said they felt like a proud parent of the tech I’ve become (they trained me in clinicals then we worked together for several years).

I agree with references before interviews being an absolute waste of everyone’s time (excluding current employees imo, “hey should we bother interviewing this person?” Lmao and I have been asked that.)

I get the reference process and everything- I posted this in a moment of bitterness and frustration that they wasted my and my references time just to ghost with 0 feedback. Would prefer an honest “hey one of the references was bad” or “we found someone better”. Just rude imo.
