Cons
- Extremely low pay, they pay $8.50/hour for a job that should get at least $14-$15 - Managament was definitely the worst thing about this job. The three women that managed the center I worked at (Madison Heights) were all extremely rude, demeaning, unprofessional, uncaring, unhelpful, displayed blatant favoritism, and many times were abusive. You are nothing but a number and barely human to them. - Little room for advancement and managers lie to you and make false promises to get you to stay. - Unsafe and disgusting working environment: lots of harassment from hostile donors, many donors are felons or addicts and managament encouraged employees to not change gloves between donors even if they had blood or plasma on them. - Very ghetto coworkers and donors. - Racism against white employees by black employees. - Poor training and skills you gain here are very specialized and not transferrable to many other fields.
