Medical / Clinical Laboratory Technologist in Shrewsbury:
Pros: Some flex scheduling allowed. Mostly independent work.
Cons: Feeling unappreciated, undervalued.
Medical Technologist:
Good pay and benefits, great coworkers.
Forced overtime with zero comp time. Working over 2 weeks consecutively without a day off is common, often far more. I haven't gotten off "on time" in a year, long hours demanded.
The lack of work-life balance is only for hourly staff. Salaried staff lives the high life, never more than 40 hours a week, often less. Leadership is weak and knee jerk, reversing their edicts a will. Local pool of employees is not existent due to the reputation of hourly staff at this company.
If you are a salaried candidate, go for it. Hourly candidates should think long and hard before committing to this company.
