I should know first hand, I used to be employed there until today! If you do go, do not let the Donor Floor Supervisor, Tuketia, touch you!!! She will injure you, bruise you and you will have to be restuck if you do!! She was only a Phlebotomist for 6 months prior to becoming a "Supervisor", so the girl has NO EXPERIENCE!!!! They are extremely discriminating, disrespectful, unprofessional and one of the worst companies I have ever worked for in my life! There is so much favoritism and drama occurring in that center that emeployees can't come to work and do their jobs and go home! They treat their employees terribly and they complete the training process, constantly change up their policies, but then other staff members for managements mistakes. Tuketia can't even machines back together right and you Donors are connected to them and she's supposed to be the responsible "Supervisor"??? OMG!!! What a joke! That place is ****ed up!!

Today I had a 7:40 appointment and was still 10th in line in the waiting area when I decided to leave at 9 am. Several others had to leave as well. I have always had good interactions with the staff here but it does get to be a bit much planning over 2+ hours to donate. Luckily the compensation isn't much and doesn't affect me so if I stop donating altogether, it's really no big deal. If you donate here, always be prepared to wait and don't schedule anything else within 3 hours of your appointment.

Got to spin for prizes on your second donation of the week and the amount reimbursed went up over time. Several months ago they were taken over by grifoils and it's gone down hill ever since this happened and they have reduced the reimbursement from $150 weekly with 2 donations in one week. It went down to $135 weekly and now again to $90 weekly. There must be some type of mismanagement going on They are almost ALWAYS short staffed I have been here when there only one phlebotomist for an entire room full of patients. The people who do the intake and phlebotomists are but I really great but i get the impression they are not treated well. The management seems seem to interested in laughing and joking amongst themselves rather then see what they can do to help their overworked staff. I used to tell everyone what a great place it was and recommended it to MULTIPLE people. One coworker actually did start right when grifoils took over. I feel really bad that I did now especially how I raved about how great it was. I won't recommend it to anyone else because it's hardly worth it anymore. So dissatisfied and disappointed with this new company. If you are thinking about donating I wouldn't bother. They don't appreciate their staff and and CERTAINLY not their donors. I can't post unless I give at least 1 star but I don't even give them that
