Phlebotomist Reviews
What is it like working as a Phlebotomist?
April 2015
I love being a phlebotomist.
Phlebotomist:
Pros: The job itself and the surroundings/people whom I work with.
Cons: The least thing I like about being a phlebotomist is the pay scale, where I work presently doesn't pay the amount I worth.
November 2014
Good company to work for. Many many tasks to forfil.
Phlebotomist:
Pros: I love working with patients, and Labcorp has given that opportunity.
Cons: Management could be a lot better, raises are horrible. Our customer services phone techs are horrible, and usually don't have an answer. Billing is just as bad. We're asked to take all insurances, and when the patient gets hit with a bill, they turn their back. Not our problem. I hate to look straight at the patient and lie for this company.
August 2014
Satisfied.
Phlebotomist:
Pros: I appreciated the empathy from the supervisor over me at the time I was hire. My great-niece was killed 4days after I was hired and I missed far too many days off work but the local management was very lenient with me. But corporate did not see that so I was put on probation and after 14 months of employment I hurt my back and was unable to return to work I lost my just that easy due to to many absences. So I lost everything soon after and decided to move over of state to start over.
Cons: I really do not have anything bad so say they word with me well but I was able to work with one person. No one seemed to care. Oh I did not like how bad attitudes were never addressed on the job there.
July 2014
Phlebotomy.
Phlebotomist:
Pros: I love the people that I work with. I enjoy being able to make patients feel the best they can when they are nervous about the procedure.
Cons: I do not like the risks associated with handling blood. I also am unsatisfied with the pay rate or the potential for growth.
June 2014
Phlebotomist:
Pros: I love meeting and connecting with the patients.
Cons: No room for advancement.
January 2014
Patient Care.
Phlebotomist:
Pros: Love the interaction with the patients, get a lot of positive verbal feedback from patients in regards to my technical abilities and great caring. I haven't been in this profession very long and wish this was a line of work I had chosen for myself years ago.
Cons: I work alone and feel this job is greatly undervalued. Cannot visually see the work performance of their employee. I've been asking for a bleeding chair the 3rd month into working for the company and have yet to receive it. They want us to do self-evaluation work performance reviews on ourselves and ask how we can improve our work environments to make it more safe and efficient. I'd like to think they care for their employees but they don't hear us.
Being alone, I have to deal with high-stress situations and fainters. All I want is a bleeding chair so I can place a bar across the front of the person, so if a situation arises where the patient faints and I have a needle in their arm it will prevent them from falling on the floor and cracking their head open. Not all patients admit to fainting, and I always ask if they would like to lay down if they are feeling anxious. My 1 year performance review is coming up and the same self-evaluation will be coming up. I feel invisible and not heard.
