Worst job ever. Get the experience on your resume, then run. Fast.

Processing technician

Business Outlook

Pros

Encouraged to crossed train. You get a 50 cent raise when you cross train. Coworkers are fun to work with. Flexible scheduling You can donate for $50, every time you donate.

Cons

*Very low pay-minimum wage. You work with Bio. Blood and Plasma. You can make double doing the same lab work, in a hospital, or something. McDonalds, Taco Bell, and Walmart, pays more. You have phlebotomist starting out at $10!!! That's ridiculous. *When you cross train, for your huge 50 cent raise, you double your work load. So get ready to be pulled into other places in the center. *It's hard to be fired, because they have to go through corporate first, so be ready for lots of coworker call offs. *Employees are non professional. But...you pay minimum wage, you get minimum wage performance.

Pros

Was always able to get my 38-40 hours. PTO was definitely useful. They were able to work with your schedule most of the time... Unless you tell them late.

Cons

Workers and management are unprofessional! There was constant drama. Management was also a part of it at times. Donors where rude and rushed you even though you were busy. 8.00hr starting pay and only a .30 raise after 3 months. Pay isn't worth the amount of work you do there.

Disappointing Organization

Regional director of operations

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to work within a regulated framework and support teams of aspiring teammates

Cons

Corporate organization is in chaos, as well as the entire industry post COVID. Misaligned priorities, favoritism within the organization, poor leaders at top of organization. They laid off a significant number of field employees while continuously growing the HR and marketing departments. Its highly disappointing to put so many years into an organization just to see it all slip away.
