      Mixed bag - the pros can be great, but the cons can be terrible.

      Pros

      Important note: this review only covers employment at a collection center - the corporate office could be an entirely different story. At the time of this review (Q4 2014) CSL is in a phase of extreme growth. This translates to numerous opportunities for advancement, especially if you're open to relocation. Support structure at the regional level tends to consist of knowledgeable, compassionate managers.

      Cons

      As other reviews have mentioned, compensation is low across the board. Over the long term, this results in a lower-than-average caliber of employee, in terms of education, motivation, and raw talent. The job market may be bleak, but the real assets tend to find their way out to greener pastures eventually. Being such a huge company, the culture can feel a bit dry - to everyone but the people you interact with on a daily basis, you're no more than a cog with an ID#.

      Alright job to get you through school, wouldn't make it a career.

      Pros

      Atmosphere is relaxed, employees and donors have a lot of personality, hours go by fast, 8 hours of PTO on every check, bonus when the center does well, reasonably lax if you're late to work

      Cons

      Low pay (especially since you're dealing with blood and the dredges of society), donors can be rude and even scary depending on where the center is located, you're forced to serve suspected drug users unless your center has a drug test policy, management plays favorites

      Great if you're beginning a career but gets old really fast

      Pros

      They take time to really train you and my co-workers were fantastic. If you work hard and make very little mistakes you can move up quick.

      Cons

      Its like working in a factory; you do the same thing over and over and over. I worked part-time there almost 2 years and was mentally dead after a few months. When you first start out you typically work 2nd shift and 20 hour weekends, and if you close there is no set time when you go home. You go when they say you can go: that could mean anywhere from 5pm to 8pm
