Pros

You learn about the ins and outs of collecting plasma and its many uses. You meet new people and build friendships.

Cons

Employees are underpaid and overworked, as well as Management setting themselves a part from them instead of it being like everyone's on the same team. And would you believe that this place of business is not considered a medical facility although it involves phlebotomy, so if an employee got blood or something on themselves, even with wearing protection and all, they are pretty much on their own, hopefully it's not tainted. AND, speaking of, there should be a requirement to have a more in depth screening on donors. Seems like any and everyone can donate as long as their blood pressure is low, don't have AIDS and answer all of the questions on the application. Who cares if they tell the truth or not because no one checks!

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.
