"I have found Quest Diagnostics to be a very innovative company that will certainly enable its employees to acquire multiple important skills"

"I have worked Quest diagnostic starting from Oct 2016 I like my organization."

It is an excellent company to work for with great people and benefits. There is opportunity to advance professionally, but it may take several years. In all, I would recommend anyone to work there because they take care of their employees and pay a decent wage."

Incompetent supervisor(s), inability to discipline employees (or fire them), mixed messages with pay (increased revenues, reduced raises (which are already horrible), can't give high raises but if you threaten to quit, big raise for you to stay!), no COLA, want to be #1, but pay the average (say they pay average, its actually below), etc. etc. etc."
