Pros

Flexible scheduling is about the only PRO

Cons

Company does NOT care about you as an individual. You are a number and as replaceable as a light bulb. Company is open 363 days out of the year and has zero respect for some of the more traditional holidays like Labor Day, Christmas Eve, Easter. Nope...they're open!! Because they're owned by a European company, they follow a different work mentality which is all about $$$. Employees are expendable. It's production over training, production over empathy, production over work-life balance. The training programs are pure rubbish. Consists of mostly reading and videos and a few hands-on events and supposedly you're trained. All centers have employees punch in/out and use a point-system...much like high school if you were tardy you get after school suspension. Monthly meetings are a joke as they're ill-prepared, poorly presented and cover the same stuff from the month before. Should be an e-mail!!! Management doesn't help when things get tough and sometimes can't even be found. Overall...I suggest moving on and consider McDonalds...at least there you get 1/2 off a meal.

Pros

Great product necessary to make life saving medications.

Cons

They talk of having a great culture, yet laid off over 300 employees with no notice, minimal severance, and healthcare benefits that expired at midnight the day they were terminated. Current employees have no trust of upper management. Dog eat dog culture. I don't think the CEO is the problem, I think it is more of the wanna be senior leadership that operates in a vacuum that is the problem.

Pros

I do not have anything positive to say about this company

Cons

I gave over a decade of my life to this company for them to treat me like another number. Which is ironic considering all of the "culture initiatives" they are trying to claim. A few items to be aware of 1) Pay is considerably lower than that of comparable positions in the industry. 2) Working in the plasma centers often poses a safety hazarad from irate donors. Managment will offer little to no support and often side with the donors in order to keep their budget in order. 3) They have slashed their health insurance benefits in half. (Wellness program benefits took $1500 off premiums in previous years - now only $750) I would highly advise NOT WORKING HERE. Due to recent layoffs of hundreds of people, i question the soundness of the business.
