Pros

Meeting lots of people (donors), never a dull moment, some really fun people to work with and some really great trainers, good cross-training opportunities.

Cons

Terrible wages (barely above minimum wage) for the work and things you have to deal with. Ridiculous levels of favoritism, which lowered moral. Management doesn't know how to be actual managers and will avoid conflict whenever necessary, even if it means not solving problems between staff. Bad scheduling and unfair treatment. Certain people could come in late to work every day without a hitch, where others would get a warning or written up. It's like a bad version of high school; lots of backstabbing and drama. Rather disgusting what management will let people get away with there. Many people working there have psychologically checked out and are just bodies, which shows in attitudes and quality of work.

Pros

- Entry level experience. - Flexible scheduling for college students.

Cons

-Horrible training program - few days of classroom training (reading SOPS), followed by questions and a live performance on the day you just learned the information. Not enough time to absorb information. - To many occupational risks associated with Blood and Plasma. - VERY LOW pay for the amount of work you will be doing. - Unorganized management team and scheduling for staff. (Expect holidays and weekends often)

Pros

Some of the great reasons to work at CSL are: the meaning behind the work - the plasma collected goes for the great purpose of creating life saving medication; it is a great place to gain medical type experience without having to have previous experience; and movement within the company is pretty easy as long as you work hard and show improvement

Cons

Some of the downsides of working at CSL include: low wages - starting pay is barely above minimum wage; the donors and clientele are often not of high caliber and are often rude to employees; and depending on who your management is your schedule is very variable making it hard to make plans outside of work.
