Very transient job for the lowest paid staff
May 6, 2023 - MSA in Wilmington, NCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
great benefits, bonuses, love talking to donors, fun traveling locations, great phleb experience, great coworker relationships
Cons
there are daily callouts on the donor floor due to stress levels, lack of experience, and newly completed phleb trainees being "thrown to the wolves" which leaves the company relying on those that have been cross trained (MSAs ) having to work both donor floor and medical until they try calling everyone else on their day off to come in and cover. I have opened both medical and donor floor too many times to count over the years as the only phleb and one new DST. I don't mind helping in other areas, but when it becomes a daily occurrence after years of being there, you get pretty burnt out. if the floor is actually staffed, then donors will be asking you to come to the floor regardless to stick them or to adjust their needle because they just get used to you always being out there.

Find somewhere else
Mar 29, 2023 - Medical Receptionist in Manhattan, KSRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Easy enough work if they’ve scheduled enough people. Nice donor interactions can make your day. Only need a highschool diploma
Cons
Basically the entire policy on handling staffing. Hiring freezes enacted by higher ups to keep labor costs down even when centers are barely scraping by. Staff is not listened to on concerns. Higher turnover rate than I’ve seen at places like McDonald’s. People quit faster than new people can replace them and suddenly the person who was there for three months is now a trainer. Pay is nothing again you can get more at McDonald’s or Walmart. No schedules in advance and don’t expect to have your requests listened too. It’s so bad just look at the google reviews for the center before you apply. I can guarantee you over half mention how tired and overworked the staff seems. And when you quit? Don’t expect to be able to get a new job, they will rank your recommendations. I can not understand what this company’s business model looks like but i can tell you it’s shady.

Pros
Getting to learn about the process in which we collect plasma is interesting
Cons
It’s the most toxic work environment ever. Everyone is sleeping with everyone, management is sleeping with lower employees. Members of both leadership and management will personally target employees that they don’t like and yell at them and single them out for something that everyone does. Don’t work here. They don’t deserve it. They will treat you like garbage and undermine what you’re really worth

Warning: HUGE Downgrade in Management
Apr 4, 2023 - Phlebotomist in Orange City, FLRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Good first job, entry-level requirements, phlebotomy and lab experience
Cons
Drama, poor management (scheduling that makes no sense, cutting hours, overstaffing one day and understaffing the next, not helping out areas that need it even though they're all cross-trained in all departments, overworking, not hiring or firing when appropriate), excessive SOPs, no overtime, poor benefits and good benefits that only kick in after a year, high turnover, good employees leaving, low morale, not technically patient care experience for pre-health professionals
