Executive management and supervisors are ruining this place
Pros
The lifesaving work performed here by regular employees is beyond praise. They come in every day and effectively come together, despite their management's shortfalls, and contribute to the community's blood supply, add registrants to the Be The Match Registry, collect stem cells, keep the community blood supply safe by testing it and so much more. They make a difference to patient's lives and contribute to their well being.
Cons
BioBridge Global has some of the greatest staff one could ever hope to work with, however it is plagued by inept supervisors, uneducated management and worst of all, a COO with little to no respect for team members outside of her department. Within the last year and a half, strategic management plans have been implemented that have effectively killed morale and continue to demoralize its mission. Instead of focusing on the mission of saving lives, everything is now centered towards generating revenue and reducing already stretched-thin budgets in order to meet goals set by upper management. Meanwhile, management continues to receive exorbitant annual bonuses, while refusing to reveal the criteria set for establishing the percentage for regular employee bonuses, despite it being normal practice at many other large private sector organizations. Time and again, internal employee satisfaction surveys have proven that the vast majority of team members are largely unsatisfied with the direction BioBridge Global and its subsidiaries have taken, yet no real action has been taken to rectify the situation. With their to goal to be seen as a world-class organization in the balance, almost nothing can be done to restore its once unblemished reputation short of having their executive management and vice presidents resign. I would highly encourage anyone considering applying at BioBridge Global, South Texas Blood & Tissue Center, QualTex Laboratories, and GenCure to have an honest conversation with current employees before accepting a position there. And though many choose to leave due to their unacceptable work conditions set by their managers, the work that is done by the team members at the ground level is admirable and lifesaving. They are the true lifeblood of the organization and deserved to be commended.
