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

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.
