Talecris Plasma Resources Employer Reviews

Talecris has a good training program, the most annoying part of the job is the micromanagement that goes on most days...I enjoying working with most of my co-workers, there are a few that I find working on the days that they are off is always best...

Run for your life before working here !!!
This office is run by managers who require you to attach your lips to
Their butts. Yes benefits are outstanding but getting 40 hours in
Is impossible. Maximum hours I worked was 32 hours they see to it you do not get 40 hours. Supplies are a constant issue of running out because management uses the money for – more... their own personsal use You can scream about supplies running out and they tell you to
Make do. Well sticking a needle in someone's arm with gloves that Are 2 times to big is dangerous and close to impossible
Seriously look elsewhere save your peace of mind – less

Stressful because of corporate management change. Ended up working long hours. Would work there again if not during change.

Poor management, sorry workers, low paying, if management don't like you you will NOT advance, you have to kiss a lot of butts to advance in this company... I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy

The hardest part of the job; I would have to say is the long hours. You have a clock in time but no clock out time.

This is a blood sucking company they rip off donors and employes they will work u like a slave for low pay long hours no time off bad management no weekends bad hr bad staff worst job I ever hAd its a production company so they will work u like an assembly worker standing for over 13 hours no breaks will break your body down terrible training you will – more... never get trained properly and they will FIRE u ASAP for a mistake don't trust the staff they will LIE and talk about u behind your back bad place to work stay away. – less

When I first started at Grifols(Talecris) I loved it. Management was great, my schedule was great and I had great co-workers. Over the years the hours of operations changed so much everyone was frustrated. They would submit new things and never give it a chance to work which caused frustrations. There motto was(not officially) quality before quantity....that – more... was a misconception. We were over worked and underpaid with less workers and influx of donors. You had no family life working there. I miss my old coworkers but I don't miss the drama that came with the job in the end. – less

Talecris Plasma Center is a fast paced work environment that requires a lot of time and effort. In this work setting, paying attention to details matter.

Good place to learn. I have obtain work experience. That is all I have to say.

This is a company where you can climb to the top of the career ladder with the right management system. My co-workers and stability is what keeps me at this place. My co-workers have become like family and the teamwork in my department is phenomenal. I believe the hardest part of the job is keeping your character. Days can be really rough with certain – more... donors and certain members of management. However, if you can learn to focus only on your job and avoid arrogance at times, you should be fine. – less

Be prepared to be stressed. There is a lot of drama among the employees and management does little to nothing about it. You will either take your break as soon as you get there or you will have to wait 4 or more hours for one. Corporate is very callous and does not follow through with what they say they will. Keep an eye on your checks, they have been – more... known to not take taxes out or benefits and will try to make you accountable for their mistakes. Seniority does not matter to this company. Management has little patience when it comes to life outside of work. – less

I learned a lot about the plasma process, it was very educational and informational.

Management was highly unprofessional, verging on ghetto. Employees ran wild and did what they wanted, speaking to customers in horrible ways. Very bad experience.

Everyday is a productive and fast pace. You must be quick and careful. I have learned new skills new techniques and OSHA regulations. Management could use a little an improvement, co-workers in my area are hard working and a great team. Hardest part of the job is being there more than 10 hours a day at times but i love it. Most enjoyable part is working – more... with a great team. – less

I loved working at Talecris. Our management team was great and always worked around my school schedule. They were extremely understanding. All supervisors really cared about the employees.

Donor Screening can be a messy job, but with a positive attitude and a passion for working with people from all backgrounds, this job is very enjoyable! Even as a visiting donor of Talecris, your sure to have a pleasant experience in this friendly environment!

Low hourly wages. High stress environment where minor errors are held against your performance evaluation. Long work hours including most holidays, even thanksgiving day and new year's day! Poor management follow-through, limited chain of command past management in resolving major issues. No job satisfaction! And zero life/work balance- not suitable – more... for anyone with kids or a family life! – less

Working here is awful due too a couple of phlebotomist that get special treatment from the manager. They will purposefully try to set you up to be wrote up.there unprofessional and extremely rude to everyone. There is an obvious divide between staff due to the clique and favoratism. I have been threatend, constantly disrespected and hate going to work. – more... There have been several fights on the floor and if your not liked by the right people exspect to work twice as hard and be treated like a dog. – less

Where to begin.....from the day you start management will give you all kinds of false information so you get off to a bad start right from the day one. Management has clear favorites and the entire center is very clique-y. The donors are often rude and the men are CREEPY and the women aren't much better. The training is vague and inconsistent at best – more... and some of the trainers will intentionally train people differently to sabotage the non-favorites. Management adamantly refuses to hear any suggestions for improvement in operations and takes personal offense to any suggestions for changes. The focus in this particular center is far too much on bizarre touch-y feel-y nonsense and not nearly enough on the hard facts in production. The only thing that saved this job from being an exercise in torture was the little bit of wise-cracking that you are able to get with a few donor and employees. This place is a joke! – less

You have to be a team player to go home stress free. If the booths are not staying full, this backs up and stress the other work areas. You might have 300 people a day come through the door to donate and some donor processors will slow down with screening because they are worried about what the next person is doing. So they will slow down screening – more... or find a reason to stay out the booth! The floor is horrible!!! You will mostly work all day with no breaks and just a 30 or 45 min lunch. You might get lucky and get an hour. If your not in the clique, your job will be harder because of all the gossip management listens too when you have more than one person constantly running in the office lying on you. Favoritism is shown to undeserving employees. The over achievers are over looked!!!! Long hours and standing on your feet all day. Management.....NO COMMENT! – less
