Pros

The experience for a better job. Learning to treat reactions, performing high volumes of blood draws and vital signs Donors are usually plesant

Cons

Where to begin? There is no rewarding,promoting, or incentives for working hard. To advance within this company you have to be willing to throw your own mother under a bus. The people designated to be the top paid and hardest workers (area leads).... lack motivation, harass anyone they deem unworthy of their presence, and humiliate anyone they see fit. All of which is acceptable because they are in good with management. Ive seen 5 people come and go in just a few months due to the unabashed bullying which goes unchecked. If you do lodge a complaint with your Manager... he is very likely going to tell the person AND do nothing about it. So there is an environment where not only will you be bullied, humiliated and overworked....but you better not speak up about it or you will find yourself in thr unemployment line.

Interesting introduction to phlebotomy

Business Outlook

Pros

The hours were always steady due to the nature of the business. You got to know some people very well because of their frequency in attending to donate. Not a whole lot of growth opportunity as a phlebotomist. Though new donors were the most challenging, frequent donors were easy to insert the needle because of how often they would donate. Some overtime depending on if one of the last donors were to have a reaction that would require them to remain in the chairs to hydrate and eat something. Benefits were sub-par to non existent but at least it was something rather than nothing at all.

Cons

Long hours on your feet. Some donors could be very difficult in personality and the company expected you to tolerate them unless they became overwhelmingly verbally abusive and of course physically threatening. Have to "watch" and listen to a limited repertoire of movies. Repetitive work.
