Pros

Great mission, mostly great co-workers, nice donors, excellent training, union representation, comparable pay to other phlebotomy jobs, great entry level opportunity, amazing volunteers

Cons

Long shifts sometimes in excess of 12 hours, not for anyone with a family, medium to heavy manual labor required almost daily, management treats with disdain, lack of communication, poor benefits outside traditional medical, lack of recognition for good work, cliques and favoritism, unrealistic expectations.

There is work life balance, but there is an expectation to work nights and weekends.
