Pros
Great retirement plan, pay is a little better than most phlebotomy jobs, and good amount of sick/personal days and you are in 1199 union so you have some sort of protection and health care benefits are the best
Cons
The scheduling is horrible, you are made to work every weekend for years, sometimes more than 10 years no weekends off. If you ask to be flexed off for a weekend you end up working 9 days straight and by the time you have that weekend off you are exhausted. The hours change everyday, one day you have work at 7am and the next you could be working 2pm, management is so unorganized and plays favorites, it is always understaffed and because of that staff are constantly calling out whenever they can, you have to travel all over BUT you don’t get reimbursed for milage unless you drive over 50 miles ONE way, so prepare to abuse your car and have no money to put into it, don’t bother leasing a car you will drive on average 18,000 miles or more a year because of it, they will also mandate you left and right to work on your days off when you already have a challenging schedule, you never know what time you are getting out of work, if a donor complains about you for anything you are wrong no matter what, the office does not back you, the people in charge of you each day at these drives half of them shouldn’t even be in charge, they are either oblivious as to what goes on around them, unorganized, play favorites, can’t hustle, or lack time management skills
