"I've worked for Focus Diagnostics for over 10 years and have seen a lot of changes over the years. This company was a great place to work at one time where it felt like a family environment. With the new management team in charge, things have gone completely south. There is a large amount of distrust and unhappy people working there who are looking to make a move. If you're looking for a job, I suggest looking elsewhere because the company will probably not be around much longer under this regime."
