      Pros

      Some really great people work there and I made some good friends.

      Cons

      Employee retention is at an abysmal 30% You have to ask yourself why. If you are in processing you are treated as disposable. Despite training taking up to 6 months depending on the department you are treated as completely replaceable and as nothing more than a work horse. Overtime can become mandatory to make up for the missing staff. Conditions are terrible, the summers are boiling hot and the winters are freezing cold. You are expected to work with dangerous equipment without hazard pay. Pay is approximately livable if you get a shift differential but do not expect any more unless you work a ton of overtime. There is little to no opportunity for advancement, they dangle the hope in front of you and then take it away expecting you to continuously add more responsibility for no extra pay. Efficiency is rewarded with more work. Do not be fooled into thinking this is a STEM job for college graduates! It is a factory position. Hard, demanding labor for supervisors who have no idea what your job is. Avoid Allosource.

      Pros

      3 day weekend and sick time

      Cons

      The recent views don't truly knows what goes on in Operations, Let me break it down to save you time so you know. Turnover rate is very high. Your supervisor does not know the process of your job and does absolutely nothing. They hire anyone that has a pulse so please take your educational experience then LEAVE ASAP. Some Co-workers had major anger and harassment problems, There are some Co-workers that are cool, they help you survive and have a good laugh. They may take overtime away. They may make you leave early. They would increase production rate BUT equipment is broken from night/weekend shift so you cant do your job. But still get blame! Your Supervisor just sit in his office to go to his meeting(getting donuts/coffee/Sport bets). You are gown all day so you wont have access to water and bathroom. Got anxiety? Breathing problems under stress? Get headaches and dizziness when tired? Get sweaty easy? You will not have a good time. If you only need experience take it and continue looking. Take advantage of the three day weekend and don't get to comfortable.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We would like to address several of the concerns you expressed. We have a robust hiring process for our Tissue Processing Technician role including a phone screen, onsite tour/job immersion, and interview. Working in a cleanroom setting can be physically demanding and we are clear with potential applicants about what the job entails. We are always trying to increase our supervisor’s capability and team engagement. We conduct annual engagement surveys and encourage our employees to have an open dialogue with their managers about concerns. We also have an open-door policy, HR support, and the AlloSource hotline available to report concerns that the company can address. Our turnover rate is below industry standard, and we are proud of that. We appreciate the work you did for us and wish you the best in your future endeavors.
