Are you happy working at Quest Diagnostics because it sucks!

They do not care about their workers. They try to scare you by saying "people are knocking down the door trying to get in here" What they are not saying is that those same people that make it in are knocking down the door trying to get out. Unless you came from SmithKline or another company they acquired, your pay is very low and they will work you like a slave without showing any appreciation. I have not been there a year yet and I am already trying to leave. The only reason why most people are still there is because they cannot find a job anywhere else or because the job is close to their home. You can work here if you want but I can gurantee that after 6 to 8 months of employment you will see why everyone is alwasy complaining.

I totally agree with you. I've been at Quest since June of 2010 and have been trying to get out since November 2010. Working as a phlebotomist you're basically a slave. Low pay, lots of exhausting work. And if you have to work overtime, don't expect to get paid for it. They make you take a longer lunch to offset it. What I don't get is why our sales reps drive company cars when I can barely afford to put gas in my car to get to work. They have a whole "Because You Matter" program pretending that we're important, but in all truth, if you're not a higher up in your business unit, you don't matter. Philly is right about SmithKline, I work with 2 people who were SmithKline and both have 20 years under their belts. They get enough "Time off With Pay" every paycheck to take a full week off every month and get paid for it. And even they complain about how the company treats them.
