Pros

Great opportunity to skip school and get hands on medical training. Uniform is provided.

Cons

Horrible pay for them to expect workers to stay late. No set time off. No overtime. Too much favoritism. Extremely high turn over rate. Terrible managment. Improper use of PPE. Too many druggies somehow pass the process when their clearly on drugs. Don't feel safe working their due to the fact that anyone off the street can just pop up and go postal on employees. Too many loiterers outside the building. Job is too stressful for low wages even with certifications you may have. Unless your the workers pet and friends with the office folks your hours are never consistent. Employees that have been their way shorter time get bumped up to high positions versus the people that have put years into the company

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.
