I loved working with such a great team and the Donors were inspiring.
Donor Services Technician (Former Employee), Scottsdale, AZ – May 1, 2013
I arrived early on most days. The day began with loading supplies. Our Team would set up the equipment and perform all necessary Quality Assurance Audits and prepare blood transport boxes.
I learned the importance of team work and an appreciation for those who take time out of their day to help others. Some times it is not easy to find the time to participate – more... in the process of blood donation, yet many do.
The Management Team was always challenged by the continual changes in policy and industry standards. It takes a concentrated and methodical effort to communicate changes. The communication was not always timely or consistent.
The scheduled time for the teams on the mobile trucks varied from day to day. The lack of continuity made it difficult to maintain a regular sleep pattern and after a while became difficult.
The interaction with many different people, Donors and co-workers alike, made me proud to have my roll in the process of saving lives. – less

Best Place I Have Ever Worked At
MOBILE RESOURCES COORDINATOR (Former Employee), El Paso, TX – April 18, 2013
Pros: lots of hours, great people to work with
Cons: being exposed to potentially infectious blood
Just a great place to work! Everyone worked as a team and got things done. Management from the Executive Directer to the department heads all worked together to keep a safe and plentiful supply of blood.

Producting in helping to save people's lives
Telemarketer (Former Employee), El Paso, TX – February 26, 2013
Pros: potlucks, improvement in society
Cons: short breaks, few hours
A typical day of work would consist of calling previous blood donors asking to help out with another donation, and assisting with any medical questions or concerns they may have had. While working here I learned what blood types were compatible with others and how much one pint of blood could help save lives. The worst part about the job was the few – more... hours I worked. The best part about that job was knowing I was helping to make a difference. – less

Traveling all over the state.
Donor Care Tech II (Former Employee), 112 E. 8th Avenue Cheyenne, WY – February 21, 2013
Pros: high pay and benefits.
Cons: long days, and 55 hours a week was typical.
I would travel to varies parts of the states and other surrounding states. I interviewed and performed phlebotomy. I learned the importance of the FDA and medical terms and procedures. The hardest part was the long days, some were 16 hour days. The most enjoyable part was seeing people who want to make a difference.

Giving blood and bring people to give blood
Volunteer Work/Community Service (Former Employee), Phoenix, AZ – February 13, 2013
Pros: all kind of snacks while waiting for you turn (powerade, cookies, chips, crackers, etc...) very friendly and gentle women that draw blood from you, and they make donating worth it by showing gratitude.
Cons: no cons at all
The blood drive truck comes and ask for donations, I usually donate then recruit people to donate after i'm finished. The ladies on the bus are all so nice. They do the best job. Your arm doesn't hurt when you are done and they make you feel good about what you have done

I really enjoyed working there, my boss was the greatest.
WAREHOUSE ASSISTANT (Former Employee), Albuquerque, NM – February 8, 2013
Pros: worked alone without supervision
Cons: new management
I would get sheets for the mobiles that were going out the next day, and pre pack all the necessary equipment, forms, and what ever else they needed. I learned how long blood could be left out before it wasnt any good, also how to pack blood to be sent off. The hardest part was making sure I had enough equipment for the mobiles. The most enjoyable part – more... of the job was getting to talk to my boss. – less

Donor Care Specialist I (Former Employee), Cheyenne, WY – January 28, 2013
Pros: great health benefits
Cons: 16+ hour work shifts
Greeted donors, conducted interviews with returning and new donors. Travel around wyoming and Nebraska during blood drive events. Most enjoyable part of the job was getting to meet new and interesting people during blood drives. Management was always there to provide encouragement and help when needed. Created lasting relationships with co-workers even – more... after leaving the job. Hardest part of the job was being away from home a lot of the time. – less

only there a short time
Lab Technician (Former Employee), Phoenix, AZ – January 11, 2013
Pros: it was a wonderful place to be at a time when i was so needed
Cons: don't really have any since i wasn't there for very long
I was hired at United Blood Services two weeks prior to 9-11. I was only there for a few months but the amount of blood donated after 9-11 was unbelievable. The thing that stands out in my mind for this company is the ability to let people show support for those who were injured by donating their blood.

Stable job with good pay and benefits.
Asst. Donor Care Supervisor (ADCS) (Current Employee), Bismarck, ND – January 2, 2013
Pros: job with a purpose, like helping people
Cons: long hours, a lot of time spent away from home, no set hours
This is a good company to work for and offers many perks. It is nice going to work every morning knowing what I am doing on a day to day basis will ultimately save someones life and I like the feeling that brings.
It is also a very hard job to balance with family, as long hours are worked away from home, sometimes over night. No set hours. No work life – more... balance at all. Also very little room for advancement once Asst sup has been reached. – less

mobile for blood donations
Donor Specialist (Former Employee), Phoenix, Arizona – December 18, 2012
Pros: meet alot of different people
Cons: not good training and very long days
You first had to go to Phoenix for months of training which you had to pass to be hired or you fired if test was failed. This was told to you after the fact. Once hired and on mobile you traveled to different towns to set up blood drives. Equipment was unloaded and loaded up to 5 times a day. Each potential blood donor was screened, vitals checked and – more... paperwork processed to ensure safety of blood. Some blood drives were one day others were out of town for 2 to 3 days at a time. – less

Blane – January 30, 2013

Very good rewarding job. You really get to know and trust your coworkers. Long hours and always on the move. Constantly loading and unloading vehicles whether rain or shine. Management does not care how hard you work or how long you have been there. If you do the smallest thing wrong you are on their blacklist for ever. They don't care how hard you work or how much effort you give. Employees always had fun working with others but had the lowest moral in any work environment I had ever seen.

Rewarding and Great Team
Hospital Technician (Former Employee), Scottsdale, AZ – December 3, 2012
Pros: great benefits, great people, deliveries out of town.
Cons: no room for advancement
A typical day at work was never easy but ultimately rewarding. United Blood Services taught me to work better at communication. We had strict schedules and deliveries always had to be on time. My co-workers always made me feel as part of a team. Management in my department were good at communicating with the team. Being able to visit towns around Arizona – more... were enjoyable. Mostly, the people I worked with was another reason why I liked working there. – less

Pros: salary, benefits, generous pto, education assistance, perks, flexible, corporate cell phone, company car (never waste own gas)
I love working for United Blood Services. This job is truly a blessing in my life. They take care of their employees which is so refreshing. The best thing about this job is that you go to sleep knowing that your work has impacted so many families. 5 stars. Thank god there are still great non-profits out there who truly value their employees.
