Great coworkers, management needs help.

Pros

The benefits are great. They match up to 6% for the 401k but that is only after a year of being there. They also offer leadership programs to become an assistant manager.

Cons

The pay is way less than what I thought, especially for what you do during a days work. I'm not sure about other centers, but the one I work at sucks at scheduling. Also, beware of legalities within HR. The center director of my location does some questionable things regarding that.

Pros

It makes you good to know you are helping others. Decent health insurance, medical, dental, vision, 401k, health savings plan etc starts upon hire.

Cons

None of the plasma is kept here in the U S. It gets shipped over to Europe then gets distributed. They pay the donors the very bare minimum and they don't give the donors the saline anymore to replace the plasma lost during donation. This is simply just a cost issue. You are on your feet literally the entire shift minus a 30 min.lunch break. Forget about a smoke break or a 15 min break. You won't get it. Extremely rude donors and other coworkers. Zero teamwork from other coworkers. Everyone is out to get you and trying to make themselfs look better. Horrible work environment. Its dangerous to work with blood and risk exposure all shift. You don't get compensated what you are worth. Health insurance...mmost meds require prior authorization. This place was dirty! I will never return there to donate unless you want to risk getting an infection or disease. We had to pay for our dates meal at the Christmas party.

Pros

- Meet some cool co-workers That's really about it.

Cons

- Low pay - Management barely helps - angry mood when they do - Donors can disrespect you and you still see them come back. (Company cares more about numbers than employees) - Favoritism runs rampant. Find a manager and become their friend for easy worklife.
