Pros

Best thing is saving lives and helping families at the worst time in their lives.

Cons

Very emotional brutally intense work and long hours. Not much time for family. Not much support from higher ups. Although LifeNet is classified as a non-profit, the company makes TONS OF MONEY through the tissue donation and biomedical implants side of their business. Historically, the founder of Lifenet appreciated donors and staff, as well as family. Since his death in 2002 they do not seem to care about dedicated, loyal employees and generous families who support donation as much. Company has grown too fast and is now very corporate and financially oriented, less caring. Focus shifted several years back to research, development, and regenerative medicine.

Pros

The MS (Musculoskeletal Technician) job pays well--especially if you're willing to learn and work hard and work the 2nd (3pm to 11pm) or 3rd (11pm to 7am) shifts. LifeNet Health is usually hiring as it is still an expanding company and they hope to boost production considerably in the coming years..

Cons

These can be a 'Pro's' depending on your point of view: The work is very physical (you'll be standing a lot, scraping and cutting human bones and cutting human tissue). The work is very cleanliness conscious (washing hands a lot, donning clean room/operating room garments, wearing shoe covers, being careful where you step, checking cleanliness of the clean room, and cleaning the clean room afterward). The work is social (you must be able to talk and work with other people because you cannot work a clean room by yourself). The work is mental (you must verify with your clean room teammate that you are working the correct donor, you must learn the 'specs' [the size and shape of many grafts], you must learn learn processing and packing procedures, and you must make sure your paperwork is clear, accurate, and double-checked by your clean room partner before you sign off on it). If you can do those things, you'll do fine.

Pros

LifeNet Health is a great place to work and grow. You learn a lot about the tissue banking industry and you are able to move upward as much as you want when the opportunities present themselves.

Cons

In the production departments, it can get a little hectic keeping up with the demands of the industry, feeling like they always need more and you don't have a lot of starting materials to give them what they want.
