Okay place to start a career - Software Engineer MERIDIAN VALLEY LABORATORIES Employee Review

-Opportunities for growth -Beautiful Location - Friendly and safe environment - genuine caring staff

I honestly do not have any complaints at this time.

The surrounding grounds are lovely and there is a river trail to take advantage of during the summer months.

The company is owned by a husband and wife team. They also own the clinic (Tacoma Clinic) which is downstairs from Meridian Valley Lab. Salaries are low, non competitive and different among workers that do the same job. There is no retirement savings plan that they contribute to for you on a regular basis (i.e.: no fund matching). Medical and dental are bare minimum. The company has been in business for about forty years and their products and services have grown little. There is minimal innovation. There are no promotions or incentives for young college minds. The president of the company, the wife, constantly laments that they are barely scraping by. Management is a small biased few who act on, and participate in gossip and slander, of which the owners listen to. The president plays favors when it comes to who can and cannot flex their work schedules. When it comes to conflicts or concerns the president constantly says, “I did not know” and does nothing constructive about it. Workers are basically left to work things out among themselves which turns into passive-aggressive cockfighting.
