Good for entry level, but don’t stay

Microbiology Tech (Former Employee) - Markham, ON - 27 April 2022

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed

This is a great company to learn the ropes of the industry. But don’t plan on staying. It’s hard to maintain the hours for a long time. There is very little room for advancement and it isn’t likely that you will leave your department for another.

Please review other laboratory options you might have before joining here.

Microbiology Technician (Former Employee) - Markham, ON - 22 February 2023

You can join here if you are new to the industry and need some experience but the longer you stay, the worse your mental health gets. People will make you feel used, treat you like a dog and try to prove your worthless. Overtime hours with bad management around finishing hundreds of samples every day. Please consider other laboratories before you want to join here.

Pros

Free coffee (from a rusted machine), you might some sweet coworkers who hardworkers

Cons

The company management does not care as long as they finish the million samples they get everyday.

A great place to work at for an entry level job

Microbiology Technician (Former Employee) - Markham, ON - 21 April 2022

A great place to work at for an entry level job. They spend a lot of time training you to develop your laboratory techniques and skills. They also let you think of ways on working more efficiently. However, there is OT almost every single day and will tell you to work faster if you are working too slow.

Toxic environment to work. Backstabbing, gossip, etc.

Microbiology Technician (Former Employee) - Markham, ON - 19 January 2022

People don't stay for to long. Overtime is mandatory, and every day. You don't have time to go home. Everyone is your boss. Supervisors don't know how to give feedback. They pin you on the wall in front of everybody.
