Pros

You get lots of hours and good benefits. It's great to put on a resume. You get great experience in a clinical setting. They help pay for your tuition to become a licensed phlebotomist. Management is very nice and helpful. They encourage cross training and being promoted. Get the experience and move on from this place.

Cons

It's a dangerous, hard job. The heated sealers are always broken, which means you're more likely to be exposed to blood. Don't work here unless you're ready to work hard foe 9-10 hours in a stressful, dangeorus environment. Training is awful. You will have everyone telling you how to do the same thing a different way. You have to be your own advocate. The people you work with are unprofessional, unskilled, uneducated, and downright rude. There is a lot of drama on the floor. The employees are loud, obnoxious, and immature. The donors are rude and can sometimes get violent. Coworkers and donors berate you. You have to have a thick skin to work here. The pay isn't great at first.

Pros

Competitive pay, easy work, great benefits.

Cons

Unexpected additional tasks specifically for MP’s that were someone’s only job in the past (for 0 additional compensation), toxic leadership (specifically the COM’s as they do not possess the skills to manage people in the way a legitimate manager would-hense why they were only ever supervisors previously) that ended up in the positions they have due to recent restructuring, micromanaging everyone to oblivion, complete and utter disrespect from those unfortunate people in make shift supervisory roles.
