Unethical to the bone

Senior Medical Technologist (Former Employee) – Pretoria, Gauteng – 6 September 2018

This could be the best lab in the world, but because of their unethical behavior nothing will come of it. I see no plans to change things, it goes against everything I stand for (high quality and correct results)
The pay is the worst in the industry and they have capped overtime rates. (Not according to your salary)

Pros

Nothing

Cons

You have to lower your standards to fit in

Productive

Flebotomist (Former Employee) – Klerksdorp, North West – 3 November 2018

I enjoyed working very hard and under difficult staff shortages for ampath

I do not agree that there should be any staff shortages

I do believe top management must ensure that all staff are treated equally

It is a very good company to work for

Phlebotomist (Current Employee) – Kempton Park, Gauteng – 11 October 2017

Working for Ampath requieres dedication and hard work. Long hours and time sensitive work. The company takes care of their employees and once you work for them you will never be without a job again. It is a stable company and one of few where you can really feel secure and know that you will be able to go to work the next day.

Pros

Good benefits

Cons

working weekends and public holidays

As an individual you are the person to make an environment you work to be fun.

Lab Coordinator (Current Employee) – KwaZulu-Natal – 12 March 2017

I love my job. Following the proper protocols and policies as per my job goes a long way. I tend to find my job very easy although its challenging. The sense of urgency is always required with every patient results I deal with. Liasing with Doctors is one of the most difficult part of the job, but once trust and loyalty is built with the Doctors its a walk in the park. As now the Doctors I deal with know me on a First Name basis.I am a very friendly person,always with a smile no matter how rough or hard my day is. I get along with everyone at my workplace. I have alot of passion with my job function and always pay attention to detail. Thank you.

Pros

Teambuilding and courses staff go to

Cons

Salary

Fun, learning environment

PhlebotomyTechnician (Current Employee) – Pretoria, Gauteng – 21 March 2017

I am currently working for a wonderful company which has many benifits as where I am still a student in my final year and already had the privillage to enjoy all the company benifits from my first year. The management team is very helpful and will go out of their if you need anything. The best part of a day in the job is when I'm working with different people on a daily basis which is what I enjoy the most.

This is a very productive work enviroment.

Debtors Assistant Manager (Former Employee) – Durban, KwaZulu-Natal – 3 November 2017

I never had a quite day at work. Each day had its own demands and deadlines that had to be met to ensure all aspects of work handled.

You never stop learning, and the knowledge I gained from the company I will carry with me for the rest of my life and apply.

Ampath provide on going training to staff to ensure they competent to do the job and keeping up with latest technology.

Each employee had respect for each others culture.

the most enjoyable part was to see customer satisfaction and meeting deadlines/targets.

Pros

20 min tea break given by company

Cons

Its what you make of it and how you deliver on a day to day basis

Good place to grow

Courier driver (Former Employee) – Durban North, KwaZulu-Natal – 11 February 2017

Used to working at Umhlanga.
I used to ride a bike not less than 250km/day and only get off on sunday if it not my week for overtime.
Stressful place where management enforcing everything with out understanding a situation and risk of an employee.
But main lab westridge is much better.
And what I like about Ampath is a big company you can grow,You can even become a doctor if you are the hard worker and willing to study especial if you have maths and Physics.

Pros

No free lunch

Cons

Very long hours

Terrible place to work for

Leanner scientis esoteric department (Former Employee) – NRL esoteric department – 5 June 2015

Treatment of staff is shockingly unethical. Instruments and other equipment are not in a good condition.

There are some favourite staff of management that get away with murder while the rest are expected to produce results within an impossibly short time and work their fingers to the bone.

The culture is a back stabbing shoe licking type. You lick the right people shoes or you will get nowhere. And the staff seem to be out to make others look bad. The office pollitics is just the worse I have ever come across.

I highly recommend giving this one a skip

The staff turn over in this department alone should give anyone cause for worry. 3 people resigned at once now. Before that in the last year another 2 had left, the year before that another 3. In a department of 9 people that is schocking.

Pros

everyone gets 1/2 day off extra

Cons

small salaries. excuse for a tea room. Nothing provided, bring your own cup, coffee, spoon etc.9 hours per day. work on weekends. no internet, email only internally

Serving Milpark hospital

BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST (Current Employee) – Johannesburg, GP – 11 October 2013

hospital, we work hard and deligent to provide good quality results to our customers. I have good collegues who are very reliable and we work as a team to make sure production continues and service excellence is achieved.

The satisfaction that I get is that I am saving lifes by helping Medical doctors with the diagnosis of patients in order to decide on the right treatment for the patients.

Pros

They provident an efficient training.

Cons

We work long hours and weekends.
