A place that collects life saving plasma
Lead Donor Processor (Current Employee), Harrisburg, PA –
Pros: work hours, people, environment
Cons: management, fairness, appreciation, courtesy
Just about my job is great. I love working with people. I also like knowing that what I am doing is saving lives. I don't think that employees are appreciated for the hard and sometimes stressful work that I do. It's just not as firm, fair and consistant as I think it should be.

RUN
Work all areas (Former Employee), Hsv, AL –
Pros: if you like your co-workers..a pro
Cons: everything else
A mess. Management is unfair and not knowledgeable. Can't keep a full staff and please never expect a decent schedule...it will not happen. Corporate is of no help and please do not expect them to be there for you- they are not. I learned to look after myself and what I needed because these people could care less about you. like I said don't get happy – more...  because these people do not really care about you. – less

Really busy environment!
Donor Processor (Former Employee), Saint Paul, MN –
Pros: free lunches, great benefits
Cons: schedule is not flexible, do not have every other weekend off, no set schedule
Everyday you never know if it's going to be a busy day or not. I learned how to screen donors and test to see if the Hematacrit and protein is good or not. The coworkers can be friendly at time but there's a lot of gossip going around and I just try to stay as far as I can from that kind of environment. The hardest part of my job is trying to screen – more...  donors on time and get off on time. I most enjoyable part of my job is they have great benefits and free lunches. – less

Very productive fast paced enviorment!
PLASMA PROCESSOR (Current Employee), Little Rock, AR –
The co workers are very fun to work with, My enjoyable part about working at Talecris is that the training was easy to understand.as well as the hands on training, I've learned through each job that I had the previlige of having is that you can't make your job hard or difficult those 2 words are illusions if one is thinking with a positive attitude, – more...  Talecris is no exception,and thats why I would say there was nothing hard about my position because with execellent training my job is always a fun experience besides the decrease in hours right now. A typical day in the lab would be...Taking the donors plasma-taking 3 samples from plasma to prepare for testing, Separate serum from blood samples of new donors to prepare for testing, Enter donors information into a database, Pack the bottles of plasma into boxes to prepare for shipping out.. – less

Love the donors.
Donor Processor (Current Employee), Jacksonville, Fl –
Pros: you get to meet so many different people.
Cons: to many women
The company cause is good they need more of a gender adjustment in the front of the office. Management needs to control their temper at times but overall the people that come through the building are a blessing they teach you that there is more to just coming to work and doing a job but you also help people and learn more about them.

Disorganized mess!
Phlebotomist (Current Employee), Peoria, IL –
Pros: bonus if production is made
Cons: coworkers and managers
Where do i start? Rules are constantly changing...one moment its do it this way the next, its doing that way. Management was never consistent. Company has a revolving door. You are never getting off work at your scheduled time. For example, if you go in at 9am and your schedule say your off time is 6pm, that means you will be there until 7 or later. – more...  Your priority is this job and not your family (kids, your health or household). You are not allowed to miss work, but if you are sick and the doctor takes you off work, you wont have a job. This is a real life (bible location) office. The office manager made sxual advances at some of the donors and sometimes to co-workers. I wouldn't advise anyone to work here. – less

The Hard Balence
Lead Plasma Processor (Former Employee), Colorado Springs Co –
Pros: customer and employee bbqs, great benifits
Cons: long hours, trying to balence work and home life.
It wasn't that bad to work there I actually Liked it very much The only thing I didn't like is the fact of trying to balence my home life with my family life. There was always something to do. I could've worked a 15 hr shift and still had something to do (we never worked 15 hrs). The interacting with the customers which I loved the best part about the – more...  job was great hearing the storys and some of the questions were always a great thing to hear. Management seemed to have a little bit of favoritisim in my mind instead of excelling the hard working people they did the oppisite. My co workers were awsome I loved it all the good times I had with them. The hardest part of the job was he hours some days you'll be out of there by 3 or 4 the latest by 9 at night. I actually Loved all parts of my job. – less

Terrible,No work life balance,Unprofessional
phlebotomist (Current Employee), Milw,Wisc –
Pros: 2 weeks pto
Cons: no work life balance, low pay
This is the place for you if you like working 8am or 9am to 6pm or later. Working almost every sat. Favoritism towards some employees some work a set schedule while everyone else has their hrs flip floped around some never have to work sat or work any closing shifts. Some of the people are very unprofessional cursing and street talk with donors! And – more...  the benefits are awful only offered limited coverage insurance,which covers almost nothing. No major medical at all unless your there 2 yrs. They do give 2 wks PTO which is nice. Partime people recieve no benefits or PTO. – less

Tiny – April 13, 2012

So true! I have children and almost every other night that i worked I was not leaving until late in the evening and I hated being away from my house for such long periods of time. By the time I got home, my kids couldnt even eat dinner because it always after 8 or 9 when i got home. There was a lot of favoritism at our location here too

You need to really love the plasma business to work here.
Phlebotomist (Current Employee), Fayetteville, NC –
You have to really love and be dedicated to the business to work here. You have to work long hours with no definite time to get off work. You have to deal with many different personalities and behaviors donor wise. You are constantly on your feet and on the move. It is a fast paced work environment.

It is a very productive and very fun place to work.
Lead Supervisor (Former Employee), El Paso, TX –
Pros: very good pay and vonuses.
Cons: not having overtime
A typical day at work is very good and get along with everybody.
I learnd everything I know, to be a better Phlebotomist, a Supervisor, and good customer service. No comments on the management. Most of all
my co-workers are very profecionals. The hardest part of the job is to keep up with all the employees during an inspection. The most enjoyable part – more...  of the job is to accomplish all my job duties, and to use all my effert in my duties as a supervisor. – less
