What our employees are saying

Safety is our TOP priority

We take safety VERY seriously and have created programs specifically designed to help protect our employees during COVID-19.

- We have set up work zones and limit cross over between them
- You'll have your temperature taken when entering the building
- We're providing free boxed lunches daily that meet a variety of dietary needs
- Shift work hours are reduced, but you're still paid for 40 hours! This allows for time between shifts to reduce interaction and limit exposure.

We are an employee first company!

What does that mean for you? Each product line has different work centers set up. Each employee is cross trained in all the work centers for their area. As a trained Production Specialist, you will have variety in your day because you will move throughout your work centers.

This creates more opportunity for our employees to gain a variety of skills, cross train new employees, and decrease opportunity for injury by limiting repetitive tasks as much as possible.

As our R&D teams develop new products, how we produce them may change. Our production teams evalutate what process changes will need to be made and create a strategy for success. You could be part of the R&D process or change the way a work center functions so that we can deliver the new products to scale for our customers.

We help you grow in your career

Helping their employees to develop into the career they want is top of mind for our leaders. We know that great people make us a great company and keeping talented individuals at IDEXX will only make us better. Managers work closely with you to help understand the experiences, education, and skills you bring beyond your current role. Knowing this information allows them to help build a plan that could include:
- Pairing you up with a mentor from different departments - including operations, IT, software, or engineering for example.
- Using a skills matrix to be able to show career pathing opportunities and how you can develop into a new role outside of the team.
- Provide opportunities to be creative, like helping to innovate the ways of using and building the products as R&D presents new solutions
