Pros

Good start out pay after completion of the OLA program Good experience for anyone lacking practical experience

Cons

You are not guaranteed the locations you pick and will most likely not get the ones you want. They expect you to work extreme hours on salary which means you could work 70 hr weeks and not get paid. They don't pay their staff nearly enough, and this means that the centers cannot pick and pay for the talent they so desperately need. I mean would you want some high school graduate sticking a needle in your arm? Some locations are dangerous as the target clientele are usually within ghettos. They preach work/life balance to the moon and back but I will tell you right now it doesn't exist.

Pros

The healthcare is decent

Cons

Where do I start? Oh I know - how about the fact That they took one of our 10 minuet breaks away because we are only scheduled 7.5 hours, or if you work over your 5 hours before a lunch- they go into the computer and change your clock out times to avoid paying you the meal premium you are DUE! Constant bickering and gossip right on the donor floor between staff- donor to staff ratio is always off - making safety issues for donors. Point system for clocking in late or calling in sick - but in Ca - you are allowed 3 Sick days without penalties and you will get penalized for calling in sick unless you stand up for yourself !
