Pros

Offer Cross-Training, Most of the nice donors actually make it worthwhile

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism here so be prepared for that. The turnover rate is extremely high. Many don’t stay for long and any donor would tell you this. They’ll hire almost anyone. There are long and draining hours. Sometimes you don’t even know when you will be going home. The scheduling is jumbled with no rotation among each employee. The ones they favor usually get the best times. Employees do have the option to cross train for other positions after they’ve gradually worked their way up but because Octapharma is so cheap and unorganized the process seems to take forever for certain positions! Plus it is about .50 cent extra per position (Very low pay for the work that is taken on). The annual raises offered are low as well. There are higher raises at Wal-Mart than here. Also having education or certifications won’t matter much neither. Did I mention that they’ll hire almost ANYONE? These are only a “few” cons I've dealt with since working with this company. Trust me, there is more.

Pros

Competitive pay, easy work, great benefits.

Cons

Unexpected additional tasks specifically for MP’s that were someone’s only job in the past (for 0 additional compensation), toxic leadership (specifically the COM’s as they do not possess the skills to manage people in the way a legitimate manager would-hense why they were only ever supervisors previously) that ended up in the positions they have due to recent restructuring, micromanaging everyone to oblivion, complete and utter disrespect from those unfortunate people in make shift supervisory roles.
