Pros

Benefits were good. Got experience in phlebotomy. Most other employees were great to work with. I worked there 3 years starting as a DST and was trained to do phlebotomy. Good opportunities to advance if you want to kiss butt.

Cons

Rudest and worst customers I ever dealt with at any job. Work long hours with no breaks at times. Very stressful and too low of pay for the amount of work done. They don't follow their own rules a lot of times and enforce other rules that someone with an extreme OCD disorder had to have made up. For example, one of their rules is to have no more than 6 donors for every 1 phlebotomist in a bay and I found myself alone governing up to 18 donors at times. They accept new donors to come in at closing time which makes it so staff sometimes are stuck at the center extra late for just one person. My last job performance rating I received was the highest graded performance I received in the 3 years I worked there but then they proceeded to give me the lowest raise I'd gotten from them yet. I felt like I was part of the misfits of the medical community. Very high turnover rate.

Pros

The knowledge you get while working in a lot of the areas if you don't have previous healthcare experience this will be beneficial.

Cons

They want you to have more than job title and perform the duties for each area for the same pay 9.74!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will draw blood, take vital signs, be in a -37 degree freezer, be around sick people for 9.74!! I know something is better than nothing but if you want to be a slave for that little please be my guest!

Pros

Get to meet new donors who come from all walks of life. The break room had free coffee.

Cons

Schedule you randomly and expect you to show up for ANY shift regardless of hiring agreement. You will get reprimanded even if you are sick WITH a doctors note. Always understaffed and terribly understocked. Broken machines stay in service due to lazy staff. You have to beg for a break. When closing, the time you leave is ridiculously unpredictable. Too much work for one person and VERY low pay!
