Labcorp reviews about "training"

The major downsides to Labcorp that I have noticed are -Employees are not compensated at a higher rate when they take on new and more difficult tasks such as training new employees. More responsibility should always mean more pay! -Some departments have no clear career path and therefore people see it simply as a job so there is high turnover -Time off for a holiday or alternative day is capped at 8 hours so anybody who works 10 hour shifts has to come in for 2 extra hours during the week or use 2 hours of their PLB which they earn at the same rate as someone who works 8 hour shifts. It is completely unjust and unfair and should have been changed ages ago. -There is very little flexibility for schedule which can make things extremely difficult for parents. -The raise that comes with a promotion is MUCH too small and we are not able to negotiate or advocate for ourselves to get a higher raise. -Workday is a terrible system and has taken away the ability for management do give out incentive pay for doing extra overtime on top of the mandatory overtime. -The overall pay here is significantly less than the pay one would get for a comparable position at another company.

Extremely low salaries, they not competitive

Unorganized; paper documentation, poor training

LabCorp has had a "good ole boy" network for most of my time here, at least in this division. While promotion is possible, it is challenging to make a difference or to find a seat at the table. As far as new initiatives in trying to change the culture, I do not see evidence that any follow through is happening at the divisional level. Leadership incorporates the verbiage. Training has always been a challenge; Obviously, we do our part to make that happen at the divisional level, but at my level, it has not been adequately addressed and is still ignored as a key component to employee retention. Anatomic Pathology is still treated as if it were not part of the lab: more resources and attention paid to clinical. QA in my division is consistently worked around and treated as if it were punitive. while there are a lot of new tools being introduced all the time, training is very poor and communication as to availability of new training is non-existent. There is no guidance how all of this is to fit together. HR has become more and more fragmented and frankly a mystery to the rest of us. I feel there is little career development and training in my position; answers are slow to come and incomplete, not allowing me the opportunity to learn how to do my job better.

Always Short staffed, no training. Should pay employees more to keep up with other organizations.

Nothing you wont find elsewhere. Working weekends and holidays is par for the course anywhere.

Not a career oriented organization. Management lacks formal training. Pay and benefits on the low end of professional offerings.

You must be convinced that confidentiality of the data you handle is a must. There is no room for long coffee breaks, permissions to leave, or days off.
