Pros

Plenty of room for advancement within the company, High turnover means flexible schedules for those who stick around. My location has mostly friendly staff.

Cons

Terrible pay, terrible benefits. Job stress to compensation ratio completely out of whack. The managers practice "inventive" timekeeping to cheat people out of breaks.You will never leave on time and you will be forced to skip breaks, but managers will be alerted by the system if you go 1 minutes over 15. QA structure designed to bilk employees out of annual raises. To go back to the terrible pay: The starting salary at every nearby fast food joint is higher. I've checked. This is for a job involving medical procedures, biohazardous waste, and 12+ hour shifts. Run of the mill sleezy big medical corporation.

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.
