Great place for experience, expect burn out
Pros
labcorp was great to get experience since your patients can vary from pediatrics to geriatrics and everything in between. definitley makes you a stronger phleb and makes you polish up your attention to detail. I credit alot of my experience to the time I worked here.
Cons
you are extremely over worked. they expect you to do front office, billing/insurance, in addition to doing phleb work. often times they leave you as the only patient care tech in the location that is packed with people waiting well over an hour. they are purposefully understaffed and will not provide much help. managers try to help but ultimately corporate calls the shots and will not budge. its quite literally you vs a huge company. not to mention the "VIP" sites in los angeles. In training we were told no one is VIP and to treat everyone equally, even if they are a celebrity. However, working in LA thats a different deal and they will expect you to tolerate verbal abuse from clients in a high paying area like Wilshire. Toxic and rude clients but very hardworking staff that is underpaid.
