Pros

Meeting new generous people everyday who want to help save lives. Working somewhere different everyday. The pay is great. Knowing I'm helping to save lives.

Cons

Very physical and hard labor loading and unloading trucks for blood drives. Many tech end up with work related injuries. Horrible, horrible management. Always feel scrutinized and not appreciated. High turn over rated due to work conditions and bad management.

Pros

Co-workers and volunteers, most of them are the best.

Cons

Upper Management. If you know your job, have experience and are the best fit for an open position. You will NOT get the job, it will go to someone without experience, that knows someone. Buddy-Buddy system.
