Pros

Co-workers kept me sane and made my time there enjoyable. Management was nice. 401k company match, great dental insurance, decent PTO. My advice if you choose to work here is: do it to gain experience(in phlebotomy, processing lab etc) and then move onto a better paying job where you will be more appreciated and have more room to grow.

Cons

Stressful work environment. Low pay. Chronically short staffed. The center that I worked at was one of the bigger and busier centers(average of about 400 donors a day) and being that we were understaffed most of the time it made for a not so great work atmosphere. Impatient donors + short staffed= long wait times = unhappy donors = unhappy staff = unhappy management :( Also at the particular center I worked at the Quality Dept was very unfriendly, no people skills whatsoever.

Pros

I made a lot of friends there, and the employees on the floor were almost always very hard workers

Cons

The higher up in leadership you go the less you actually seem to care for the people actually doing the hardest work on the floor. The donors are often mean and impatient. And don't get kicked out if they are repeatedly an issue on the floor, because that's a loss of plasma. Many centers won't kick out anyone with veins that aren't suitable to be stuck. It's often up to the donor to walk out with two blown veins to decide not to come back.
