Pros

- They offer snacks to employees on shift - 2 sets of free scrubs with part-time employment.

Cons

- Belittlement of new hires. - Rotating work shift weeks; all opening shifts one week (6:30am start time) and the next is all closing shifts (almost leaving at 9pm). There is no room for work/life balance with a schedule like that. - Working every other weekend is mandatory. - Employees are allowed to have any length of nails, as a phlebotomist that is a work safety hazard. - Upper management plays favorites among their the staff and it is very apparent. - Phlebotomists & DST's yelling and cussing in front of donors on the donor floor. - Witnessed employees smoking weed on their lunch break in their car. - Apparently there were 3 donor deaths in the recent year, but management wouldn't give us new hires details on what exactly happened. - No phones are allowed on the donor floor, but some of the favorite employees got away with making Tiktoks while on shift. - Was trained by a Phlebotomist that consistently told me she hated her job and was wanting to quit. - They don't treat the donors like people at this location, they're just another number to them. - Trash bins were over flowing and there were blood stains everywhere on the donor floor. - They required employees to park behind the building with overflow cars in fire lanes because there was not enough parking for all the staff on shift. - As a new hire, was told to leave my belongings in my car because there were no more employee lockers.

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.
