Pros

The paid time off was approximately 6 weeks (including sick days) when I worked there.

Cons

Upper/Office Management is completely disconnected from the technicians tasked with creating products. Another troubling issue was that technicians were pressured by both peers and management to not leave in the middle of a process (the processes I worked on took multiple hours to complete). Multiple times people were unable to leave to use the bathroom or get water. I understand it’s a sterile environment, but it sure isn’t going to be sterile if someone urinates, defecates, or vomits. I heard reports of all three happening and witnessed the pressure placed on employees to remain through the whole process.

Tissue banking is a uniquely specialized industry. Working in a cleanroom setting can be physically demanding and we are clear with potential applicants about what these jobs require. Specifically, wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and processing a product that is sensitive to time/conditions in an ISO certified cleanroom environment inevitably requires pragmatic timing for water breaks and bathroom breaks. However, these breaks are clearly and openly provided. Our employees find it both challenging and rewarding to work in a high-performance culture that is led by transparent communication.

Just a Grunt

Pros

Not much to speak on if you work in the core. If you are an office worker, it makes a huge difference.

Cons

Extraordinarily low pay for the mental and physical demands of the job. They have a very hard time with retention rates for many reasons, mostly the low pay. They did, however, recently create a senior and master level title to the technicians that comes with a raise, but it is still abysmally low for the type of work performed. They treat the technicians very poorly, ESPECIALLY compared to the office workers, and you are seen as just some grunts that produce everything the company sells and the senior leadership team and executive leadership team will benefit from. Allosource is, somehow, considered a Not-for-profit company, so their tax information is available to the public, so I encourage you to look it up and see for yourself how much the gap in pay is between the top earners and the technicians - the ones who do the hardest work. (ie - the CEO makes well over $1mil/year and the techs are around $45-50k/year.... meaning we techs have to work about 20 years without spending any money to make the same as the CEO does in one year. And that is WITHOUT bonus. Techs only make 5% bonus with all kinds of stipulations to prevent you from achieving it, and the executives make at least 20%...)

Thank you for your feedback and hard work over the years. We conduct an annual review of salaries based on non-profit and for-profit data to help ensure we offer competitive pay for the jobs we offer. That being said, we recently conducted internal surveys and, as a result, we have made adjustments to the technical career path, creating opportunities for each technician to establish monetary and professional growth here at AlloSource. We sincerely value each employee’s dedication to honor the gift of tissue donation and hope that you feel valued as a team member.
