Pros

It was a job, you can meet wonderful coworkers, you can learn a lot of techniques in blood draws, you can learn a great deal about donor blood donations but working is more about making a good payable income and having work life balance which this company does not have. Yes you can make okay money but you work Really Really Really Hard for it.

Cons

The well known name of ARC does not match the work ethic of their employees. Very physical job, very time consuming job, mentally stressful job, very tiring job, gone all day then back to work again the next day. No work life balance at all. The job schedule will say 8 hr day but you'll really be giving the company 10 to 12 hrs a day back to back non stop. The okay money you can make eventually means nothing and you're so burnt out that the good of the job becomes just another job and you start to not care.
