Pros
Work with some good staff, pay is good for someone without a college degree.
Cons
THE MANAGEMENT! Most management has been there for 20 years and are very vindictive, play favorites and talk behind your back to other employees and management. The management lies all the time and has no direction, always flys by the seat of their pants with no structure. Employee’s are overworked and under staffed and there is no training standard, so a new person never gets the right training for doing a recovery. Management only cares about their bottom line and pushing through as many donors as possible so they get a bigger bonus. Donors are harvested even though they have reasons to be ruled out and the tissue recovered will be thrown out by the processors anyway. The call schedule is horrible if you have any sort of family life and have no problem working you into your days off. They tell you that you will get “10 hours of down time” but it’s almost never the case and they put you back on call early and when you approach management about any issues or question them about the policies put in place, they change the rules and it always accommodates them. They really showed how little they cared for their employees during the mishandling of a covid outbreak, rushing employees back too early and against doctors orders, some still having symptoms. This is all just because they “needed to put more teams together” to recover donors that they only see as $ signs. Very disappointed in this organization that I once thought so highly of and envied to work for.
