Most Horrible Experience Ever!!!
MLT (Former Employee), Clover, South Carolina – April 29, 2013
Was excited about the job and my supervisor, or who scheduled my work told lies about me to cover her mistakes. I resigned and never to this day did the manager ever contact me as to my reason for leaving after only being there a month! BEWARE!!!

Specimen Processor (Current Employee), Greensboro – March 25, 2013
Pros: paycheck and ot
Cons: horrible management
Never have I seen a group of terrible managers except for one at the company! He is amazing! The chosen supervisor of late in the specimen processing dept is terrible, this person has no respect toward others and is a snitch! She has been rude to employees and basically in my mind has run off some good people! Wake up Solstas ! I cannot even believe – more... that some of this management is still here! Horrible people !!! – less

Toxic Environment
Not Disclosed (Current Employee), North Carolina – March 19, 2013
Pros: it's a job
Cons: poor compensation compared to peers, inept management
Solstas Lab Partners is most characterized by inept management, and extremely poor communication. As the organization continues to lose clients and underperform, management is getting increasingly hostile towards employees. Most employees already have one foot out the door, looking for better options. Do not work here if you have other options.

IOP
PHELBOTOMIST (Former Employee), NORTHERN VIRGINIA – February 24, 2013
Pros: paycheck
Cons: upper management
The office I worked in was extremely busy, political, and demanding to say the least. The office itself is very, very small in space. The doctor was ALWAYS at least an hour behind, and I mean ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!! If you're expecting decent pay DO NOT WORK FOR SOLSTAS!!!!!!!! If you're the type of person(worker) who place a high value on teamwork, DO NOT – more... WORK FOR SOLSTAS!!!!!!!!. Upper Management, is MEDIOCRE, and I'm being kind in this assessment. Solstas places a so called high value on customer service, which is to say they will bend over backward's for their Clients, and Patients, while overlooking, patronizing, and blatantly disregarding their other customer's, their employees! No incentives, monetary or other. Christmas gift was an cold, politically correct, generated e-mail. No raise, but they were constantly promoting Upper Management, which we all know with their promotion in title, their paychecks increased. Your frontline people, mainly Phlebotomist, is the ones who collect the specimens, and they are the same ones, who are the least in the eyes of Solstas. Your imput, and your existence will be disregarded, and the worst part was trying to to get someone to really listen to you!
Be very, very prepared to be overworked, and underpaid, and if you are not a brown noser, you will NOT fit in with this Company. The Pro's just a paycheck, the Con's, The lack of pay, and last but not least, UPPER MANAGEMENT. I wonder how many of them, have ever been a Phlebotomist?????? Also, you'll either work off the clock so that you can meet their no overtime, or they will take your overtime!!! – less

Awful place to work!!!
Do not wish to share job title (Current Employee), Greensboro, NC – February 24, 2013
Cons: clocking out
This company is unorganized and unethical! The pay is horrible and they don't give raises! They would rather you die in an automobile accident trying to make it to work in bad winter weather than be safe! You're not allowed to talk at all which makes your job even more horrible! They have no respect for their employees and their benefits are awful! – more... The management is awful and turnover rate is understandably high. The lab and restrooms are disgusting and unsanitary while they keep the lobby mostly clean for appearance to visitors. They lie to you about your job description. Once you're hired, they show their true colors! If you're looking for a career, this isn't it! – less

Greensboro – March 14, 2013

They are now firing people who do not make production rate in specimen processing. The rate is is 65 per hour, they expect you to do this every hour on the hour or more. For anyone who has done this type of job before, you know this is impossible. It all depends on what type of specimens you get. Dirty urine, prenatal tests, all kinds of different things take longer than just the straight requisition. Then you have the all the N to A's that do not count and the add ons that do not count. Management lie straight to your face. Pay is terrible. You work long hours. The only good thing is the majority of the co-workers. There are a few bad seeds, but most are there because need a job. It does not matter how good of an employee you are. If you are doing 63 per hour instead of 65 you are out. My understanding is they are trying to fire all the current employees so that they can hire all part time so they will not need to pay for what little benefits that we do get. This company sucks.

Company only cares about themselves....
Data entry specialist (Current Employee), Greensboro, NC – February 7, 2013
Pros: we get a solstas mug if we come when there is freezing rain.
Cons: everything else
I have been working with this company for 3 years. When I started out it was Spectrum Laboratory....a decent company to work for. Once they merged with other labs all hell broke loose!! They don't care about their employees...the people who get the job done for them. They gradually took everything away from us. Now they tell us that we are not getting – more... a raise this year and that we should be happy that we got like 8 cent raises in the past two years...lol.. I don't even think that is true! This company S U C K S!!! They are hoping all their employees find other jobs so they can lower the pay by about $4 per hour.. – less

Hospital position:
Lab Assistant (Former Employee), Roanoke, VA – February 5, 2013
Pros: shift options, day, evening, nights, 8 or 12 hour shifts
Cons: expensive benefits, low pay, high turn over rate for employees
Very busy, high turnover rate for hourly employees, benefits are very expensive and pay is VERY little for the work expected, would not suggest applying to hospital if looking for a long term position.

Working for solstas was.....
Phlebtomist / Lab Tech/ CSR (Former Employee), Raleigh NC and Cary NC – January 2, 2013
Pros: good benifits, great patient experiences
Cons: we went thru lots of managers and coordinators
Great if you want to describe the positive experiences and good work ethic that I had with the patients and co-workers of the practice that I worked at, the company itself had some fundamental flaws in management and prioritizing work assignments. In the almost 2 years I was there I went thru 3 managers and 2 coordinating managers.

AGMy – February 5, 2013

had two managers in the year and a half I worked there, my second manager fired 4 employees within first 9 months of her position. Upper level administration seems to pat her on the back for it. Very stressful to work for someone that makes it her goal to write everyone up.

It depends on how you perceived the experience or another person's point of view
Phlebotomist/Processor (Former Employee), Roanoke, VA – November 16, 2012
Pros: free lunches
Cons: not suitable company to work for regarding advancement purposes, changes healthcare insurance all the time which makes it difficult to keep track of co-payments.
The clinic was busy all the time. I learned how to assist on lumbar punctures. The management is somewhat practices unfairness and favoritism. All they care about is you showing up for work and disregarding unusual circumstances pertaining to your family. You can identify a co-worker who step on your shoes in order to get ahead from everybody else and – more... the management let it slide. The hardest part of the job is the management's handling of office politics.
I enjoy the free lunch they serve us once in a while. – less

Extraordinary workplace
Team Coordinator (Current Employee), Durham, NC – November 14, 2012
Pros: being able to have days off before the other staff, being apart of the management team.
Cons: no bonuses, moral is always low, and lack of communication with some people
Productive and adventurous workplace. I have learned how to handle difficult employees. I have learned to work my way through difficult scheduling situations. My most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with the older patients. My co-workers overall are a great group to work with.

Solstas is a sinking ship...Stay away.
Phlebotomist (Former Employee), NC – November 9, 2012
Pros: going home, lunch, break, patients, co workers
Cons: low pay, no christmas party/bonus, no thanksgiving turkey/ham
Came out of PRN position and was hired for a full time position only to be told after 1 month there was not enough work to support my position. What's that about? Do not trust this company. If you work for this company- don't be surprised when you report for work the first day to find out that your hours are not what you discussed or applied for and – more... they will not correct it. They think phlebotomist, tech's grow on trees. They don't hire people full time in the beginning. They bring you on as PRN or part time. You will not get enough hours in a part time position to make it worth while/no benefits and in the PRN position you will be run to death with no benefits. Solstas expects you to drive your own car if you are PRN and you will not get mileage. They think you should be happy you got a job. I guess they don't realize your car is not theirs to use for their company business. They should at least pay mileage. Solstas has taken away everything that makes a job more enjoyable. You will enjoy no company parties, bonuses, not even a Christmas card for Christmas. They suck and you will be sorry you wasted your time with this company. People are expendable and replaceable and they care about no one. The company is busy cutting jobs and quietly giving people their walking papers. Soon the community will find out Solstas reputation as a revolving door and your endless supply of employees will end. – less

CSmith – December 4, 2012

I have to agree with you, I am currently looking for a new job now and I only been with them for a few months.I notice that they are cutting more things such as benefits packages and other things that's needed to keep the company running.I notice that they really don't care about you as an employee at all!!! Like you said,Solstas attitude is that your "replaceable". So like me and other Phlebotomist that work for this company...find another job that is more stable and enjoyable to work for...Solstas is all about money,not about you!

Poor management
Purchasing Customer Service (Former Employee), Greensboro, NC – November 9, 2012
Upper management is totally focused on acquiring smaller companies, instead of rewarding its employees properly for getting Solstas where it is today.
