Salary - Blood Collection Specialist Bloodworks Northwest Employee Review

good benefits, flexible hours, room for advancement

gets repetitive. Sometimes you have travel for work. You will get rotated to different locations when they are short staffed.

Coworkers are great, donors are (usually) great to work with as well, I really like my supervisor, pay is very competitive, there are opportunities to advance in the company, it feels good to have a job that helps the community.

Scheduling is all over the place, it can be hard to get the days off that you want. Some shifts are really long- I've gotten home at 7pm after a 12 hour shift, and then been expected to be back at work by 5 am the next day. Donor services (as a department) doesn't get as much recognition or appreciation as other departments - despite being vital to the company's mission and a huge portion of their labor force. Health insurance options could be better. Attendance policy is *very* strict. Late arrivals are the #1 reason anyone gets fired from this job. (But they don't take write-ups for behavior nearly as seriously.)
