Micromanaged place

Claims Collection Specialists (Former Employee) – San Dimas, CA – June 28, 2018

This is by far the WORST employer I have ever worked for. I can honestly say I hated my job at this place. Everyday waking up was horrible knowing I had to be in this jail for 8 hours a day. I knew my first week at this job I hated it! The employees are super nice. The managers are like the CO’s of this prison watching your every move and key stroke!

If you liked to be micromanaged and your every move watched this is the place for you. When I started here I was hired with four other girls. Myself and one of the girls quit, and the other was fired within her first 30 days. Your just a number at this company and if your not bringing in the money they will let you go. Even if you are bringing it in there’s no job security here. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!

Pros

None

Cons

Micromanaged

Dysfunctional workplace.

Pomona Ca. -Lab Assistant III (Former Employee) – Pomona, CA – June 9, 2018

Micromanagement. Management is incompetent which causes the workplace to be dysfunctional. The employees are not allowed to do their jobs or able to use their experiences to make the job more efficient.

Not worth it

CPT1 (Former Employee) – Bakersfield, CA – May 11, 2018

Poor management and huge lack of communication that you will get blamed for! This is the lowest paying company that will have you doing the most. Most doctors offices you’re placed at will be small and shabby with some of the rudest doctors I’ve met. Company is really cheap and has no appreciation for they’re employees.
—No chance of advancement here so keep looking or don’t plan on staying here too long. —

Pros

Employees are helpful

Cons

Short breaks, lots of driving around

Job security at the expense of privacy

Laboratory Technician (Former Employee) – Pomona, CA – April 4, 2018

If you can get past them constantly monitoring your every move - then you can work here with a great sense of job security! The owners and supervisors enforce a great deal on all employees' actions, with consequence for even the smallest mistakes.

Fun place to work

The commute if you live far.

Great for beginners

Phlebotomist (Current Employee) – Hawaiian Gardens, CA – October 2, 2017

When I started at Foundation Laboratories, I was fresh out of school. I appreciated the opportunity. But they started. me off at less than promised. Rarely ever supervised. I saw between 2 to 15 patients per day. Some days are slower than others. I work part time and go to school so it was convenient. I had free time to do homework at work.

Strong Company without the needless STRESS!

Patient Care Technician/Phlebotomist (Current Employee) – Temecula, CA – October 16, 2015

I have been at a company where the employees felt the need to undermine each other out of fear for their job...But here at Foundation Lab, that atmosphere is not present.

Every employee works together and helps each other any way they can.

Employees are trained to perform their duties, and should one ever have a question, we are encouraged to ask anyone in the company for assistance.

Pros

Can call any employee with a question and they will all try to help!

Foundation Lab

Lead Phlebotomist (Current Employee) – Chino, CA – August 21, 2015

Each PSC is worked by one person. That phlebotomist is in charge of making sure everything is up to code. I learned how to be independent and work well alone, but have also gotten the chance to work at a location where I was in charge or two other phlebotomist. The hardest part of the job is when you have to say goodbye to pts do to their insurance change. You really get to know your pts very well and they you. The most enjoyable part is again getting to know all these wonderful pts. Some pts in I have seen grow up, they have been pts of mine for years.

Pros

hour lunch

Cons

no breaks
