Pros

Never work overnight and never work every weekend.

Cons

Where do I begin? 1. Management treats their nurses like workhorses, not as people. They give more respect to phlebotomists than the nurses and when we want our breaks they act inconvenienced. They follow SOP based on their perception of what it says, instead of following the clearly written instruction. They’re confrontational instead of professional. Unless you’re in your 20s... keep on looking, because the immaturity of management will break your nerves down quick. 2. Treatment of donors per management designed protocols is terribly disrespectful. You never ever make a donor sit and wait an hour or more just to evaluate if their veins are suitable for donation. Do that right away and stop wasting people’s time. 3. They need to hire enough staff and stop pushing the cross training. Each person has a job, they need to be trained well for it and then the center will run far more smoothly. If a person is with the company more than a year, then they can be offered cross training options. But the nurses shouldn’t be expected to do anything but the job of a nurse, because nobody else can step in and do their job without being a licensed professional nurse or EMT. 4. Unprofessional behavior and work environment. Plasma donation is for making very important medicines. The environment should be clean and relaxing. There shouldn’t be a bunch of ghetto music blaring like everyone just showed up to the nightclub. You want responsible people donating, then make it a place responsible people would “hang out” at... like classical music or spa music. Maybe offer some spa features to the environment like scented oil diffusers. You get what you provide.

Pros

Good for phlebotomy experience Meet interesting people Learn to keep plates spinning Good health benefits, but not enough to outweigh the health impacts Learn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment

Cons

Have to unlearn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment High school drama and toxicity, management is the prom king/queen Cliquey dramatic management team Reneged agreements Playing favorites, rules for thee but not for me Private employee info gets spread, often by those who are relied upon to keep it private No work life balance or boundaries, and it's an admitted and perpetually unaddressed fault Have to be made to feel guilty for wanting to leave production, get a break, or go to the bathroom High turnover "Is everyone else working as hard as I am?",-Everyone, and eventually you
