Pros

Decent benefits. Tuition reimbursement was a joke, though. Insurance was ok. PTO and Personal Holiday were quickly accrued. Stepping stone for phlebotomy experience.

Cons

Too many to name. Management is lazy, does not care about production areas, rarely seen in production, sexual harassment of males and females, verbally and even physically abusive donors. Difficult donors are hard to defer, unless they offend management or threaten to kill an employee, sometimes not even then. The heirarchy fails to see and address issues. Turnover is extremely high because it is a ridiculously high stress environment, even for former military. Favoritism is the only way to be promoted.

Pros

I made a lot of friends there, and the employees on the floor were almost always very hard workers

Cons

The higher up in leadership you go the less you actually seem to care for the people actually doing the hardest work on the floor. The donors are often mean and impatient. And don't get kicked out if they are repeatedly an issue on the floor, because that's a loss of plasma. Many centers won't kick out anyone with veins that aren't suitable to be stuck. It's often up to the donor to walk out with two blown veins to decide not to come back.
