Great experience for those who like high volume work and steady routine

Business Outlook

Pros

You definitely get hands-on experience with handling patient samples, maintaining tissue staining equipment, and case distribution. You get into a routine that doesn't change much. Advancement opportunities are available for those with a degree in a science field (biology) -- and this can be a 4 year degree or a 2 year associate's degree.

Cons

Be ready to deliver quality work at very high volumes, day in and day out. Some aspects of the job can involve being on your feet the entire day, but it really depends on the tasks that need to be done. Advancement is more challenging (though not impossible) if you have a degree in some other field that is not biology or chemistry, but you are looking to gain experience in medicine for like, med school applications.

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is not the worst once the shift differential is added for overnight. Work is fairly consistent with some opportunities for overtime. If you are accustomed to working overnight, accessioning is an easy department for third shift. Some of the supervisors are understanding, honest individuals that really do want to see their employees thriving.

Cons

The accessioning department tends to show favoritism in which employees to train/promote. Twice my paycheck was shorted hours and I had to message HR for a correction, which was then added to my next payroll check rather than paid out right away. Supervisors and management will not accommodate you well if you are pregnant, making you stand for multiple hours and continuously lift 15 lb. bags of specimens until you press for accommodation through a third party leave management company (even for extra restroom breaks during pregnancy). Health insurance, dues, etc. are a 25% deduction from EVERY paycheck for myself and one dependent. Recently the attendance policy has been changed by LabCorp without a Union vote or input from employees to a point system that is much more stringent than the previous policy. One of my hourly pay raises was also done incorrectly and then retroactively corrected months later.
