Pros

• Smart, mission-driven colleagues • Exposure to enterprise-level systems

Cons

•Filed an ethics complaint for repeated harassment and a toxic work environment; within two weeks, leadership threatened to remove core responsibilities • HR took no action—no investigation, no protection, no accountability • Employee Relations responded with gaslighting, urging me to “play the game” instead of addressing retaliation • After taking FMLA, my role was posted publicly during protected medical leave 1.5 months ahead of my return (despite me already having been out for 2 months), with no transparency or designation as temporary. I found out through the grapevine • A replacement was quietly onboarded while I was still on leave • Leadership attempted to reframe the posting as a “temporary contractor” role to cover my responsibilities—but nobody hires a contractor for a single month, and internal colleagues confirmed the person was hired as a full-time employee • It was obvious they were trying to cover it up, retroactively spinning the hire as temporary while onboarding someone permanently • When I proposed a mutual separation agreement, Labcorp refused and tried to reframe my exit as a voluntary resignation—despite the documented retaliation and procedural failures • Legal counsel was barred from separation discussions • Severance was denied under rigid policy framing, despite clear constructive discharge • Psychological safety deteriorated rapidly

Pros

I have worked at Labcorp for 22 years and have been promoted to many different positions throughout my career. Labcorp has been an amazing place to work, and I look forward to continuing my career here.

Cons

Labcorp is a large company and is highly matrixed, which can be tough to navigate; however, through the years, this has become much more streamlined.

Pros

No cost lab testing IF you can ever get time away from work to go to the doctor

Cons

Ineffective management Plays favorites Engages in shady passive aggressive retaliatory behaviors Has "work snitches" who will spy on and tattle on you if you're not one of the "favorites" Will go live with new equipment/software without ever doing a test mode to see if there's any kinks or bugs to work out. They just do it and expect you to "deal with it" with NO guidance or support from management because they don't know either or were never trained Training is the blind leading the blind Constant changes to policies and procedures or how they want things done, many of them not in the SOPs, just personal preference of what the "favorites" want Anti union busting-and they're OBVIOUS about it-or they'll pull shady passive aggressive behaviors like weaponized incompetence or "quiet firing" where they'll bully you into wanting to quit. No praise, gratitude, or appreciation for your work-just constant negative feedback and pointing out every little thing you did wrong AFTER they set you up to fail with bare bones staffing, no help, an unmanageable workload, unclear direction, and getting sent specimens/reqs/etc that are unclear, ambiguous, wrong, outside stability, in the wrong container, at the wrong temp, or are otherwise pure garbage but they expect you to turn it into gold to please the clients.
