Pros

Having "regulars" who show their appreciation for our hard work Building a rapport with donors and friendships with co-workers Stepping stone for newly graduated students in the fields employed by OPI

Cons

Understaffed Overworked High expectations for low wages Poor management No communication between management and/or staff High overturn rate so we are CONSTANTLY training which takes away from our primary job which in turn makes the returning donors have to wait longer which is poor customer service and leads to angry people and aggressive attitudes. Favoritism No employee recognition No security for staff with the many Violent and aggressive donors we encounter No hazard Pay Low standards for accepting donors Mixed priorities

Pros

Traveling for free has been a pro.

Cons

Management is required to work 50 hours a week on a 40 hours a week salary. Schedules are rotating. You get paid holidays as a salary employee but you will not get them, they will still require you to work it and only get your regular two days off . High high High stress. I mean it is so bad for me, when I sleep I dream and about this place. Upper management will play favorites so often promotions are not based on performance but if you are well liked. You will spend most of your long shift on your feet working in production as a manager, so technically you are really a glorified employee trainer in all areas to reduce overtime. I will be done with this place in a few more weeks and can’t wait for that pressure and stress to just float away when I walk out the door for the last time.

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 !
