Not an inclusive working environment

IT Professional (Ancien employé) - GTA, ON - 28 mai 2023

During my time, I saw odd and inane decisions being made and witnessed many people come and go.This is a place for unethical people to get ahead.If you want to keep your job @ Lifelabs, you realize it is in your best interests to stay quiet even when you see good people being mistreated. My compensation was competitive but I was sacrificing my well-being for decent pay.I left this company for the sake of my mental health. There are definitely better places to work.

Points positifs

Scratching my head

Points négatifs

Lack of employee support, fairness not valued, scapegoating as management method

Run. Only work at unionized locations ever.

Lpt (Ancien employé) - Thunder Bay, ON - 13 avril 2023

This is by far the worst lab to work at. Management treats you with such indignity and disrespect. No breaks, overworked and underpaid. They only positive place is where this company has a Union. Terrible management! Fire the ceo already.

Points positifs

Union at some locations

Points négatifs

Everything else

Overworked, no work life balance

Senior Financial Analyst (Employé actuel) - Mississauga, ON - 13 mars 2023

The salary is attractive at first but the workload here is so much that you quickly realize the salary is not enough. There is no training or transition whatsoever and everyone is extremely busy to really help you out. The management also has so much on their plate that there's little time to help you figure something out. Accountability is severely lacking and there's always someone trying to blame another person. It is an extremely exhausting place to work. Timelines are set on top of one another so you're always working overtime. I have also worked during my sick days and vacation. Speaking to other people on the team, most are on the same page.

Points positifs

The team has good people

Points négatifs

The volume of work, tight deadlines make it impossible to keep up, figure it out on your own because noone is going to help you.

My main role is accessioning and prepare the specimen for testing. I learned so many things about how laboratory operates and my attention to detail and organizing skills helped me a lot to perform my duties really well.I could not think of the hardest part of the job, because I can say that I can manage even if the workload is high.The most enjoyable part of the job is the people I work with and there is salary increase every year.Pay overtime

Points positifs

Salary Increase every year, Free coffee, Sometimes free lunch

Amazing Team But Bad Management

Lab Technician Assistant (Employé actuel) - Surrey, BC - 5 mars 2023

My team is such a hard working team. The work goes undervalued and management sucks. Internal hiring is all based on seniority and if they like you or not.

Easy yet fast paced job

Temporary Worker (Ancien employé) - Richmond, BC - 24 février 2023

The work was easy, but due to incompetent management and poor work culture, I found it difficult to work there. Management would often yell at employees and created a stressful environment. My time at lifelabs was short but according to long time employees the company has never been a good place to work at.

So much happier now that I am out!

Medical Laboratory Assistant (Ancien employé) - Belleville, ON - 23 février 2023

I really did enjoyed my position as a Lab Assistant, I learned a lot and gained many new skills. I did not find training was very good, Management does not make people accountable for their mistakes. Lots of hours but all afternoon shift. Always short staffed so lots of overtime if that's something you want. Large turn around at the lab people never stay long. It's a good place to learn the job but then move on!

Points positifs

good parking, holidays, benefits, busy job so time goes by fast.

Points négatifs

bad hours, large turn around of staff, no consequences for bad work ethic.

Was a fun and great place to work... but now

Medical Laboratory Assistant (Employé actuel) - British Columbia - 15 février 2023

too demanding at several PSC locations. Cadence / workload unbearable. No customer service any longer; get the customer in and out fast and don't let the seat cool. Management is very condescending and demeaning at times. All they care about is making productivity daily. Long waits at some appointment locations. Poor work life balance that could be made better as per the collective agreement. Feeling exhausted physically and mentally at the end of the day.

Points positifs

95% of the people I work with.

Points négatifs

Meeting productivity and working short staffed.

Supervisor supports bullying

Medical Laboratory Technician (Ancien employé) - Oshawa, ON - 11 février 2023

No room for growth. Amount of experience you have isn’t taken into consideration when apply for job postings. Supervisor has favourites in every location and makes it evident to all other employees, even to others in other departments speak about it. Work you to the point that you can’t go off the floor without consequences. Exceptions are unattainable. Weekly more work is put on workers. To their already existing unmanageable, unsustainable list of tasks to complete. Plus make sure you are never faltering on how many patients you serve every 30mins onto of the every growing list of things to do. No recognition only constant criticism by supervisor and staff. Micromanaging from staff members is encouraged by supervisor because they allow it to continue. They can’t keep floats because they over work them and never allow them time off (they work 6 days a week most times 10hour days). Are expected to be on call to go all over the place to different locations at anytime, with no exceptions. Will not work with you if you have another job (2 days) they expect you to only be loyal to them, your making a living for your family doesn’t matter to them. Toxic work environment created by supervisor supporting employees bad behaviours towards other staff. Trust me you can make better money somewhere else. Highly recommended you don’t work here.

Points positifs

One 15min paid break

Points négatifs

Overworked under paid, toxic work environment. Toxic supervisor

Great place to work

Lab Assistant (Ancien employé) - Barrie, ON - 24 janvier 2023

Lifelabs is a great place to work to gain experience in this field. They trained very well and the management is really good. The salary is okay for starting but as gained more experience they will pay you really well.
