This Red Cross center was always good to attend to. While finding the office or location could be a…read morehassle, it has good staff and a good break room to reenergize and rest at after your donation. The staff are all extremely friendly and the overall atmosphere is comfortable. There are more than enough spaces and seats to go to whenever you donate and they make sure you're comfy. Even when doing platelets they'll do what they can to make sure your donation goes as smooth and comfortable as possible. If you'd like to take a nap while watching a movie, Netflix, TV Show anything you can. If you want to just rest and stay longer after you're fully finished you can. The one major complaint I had when going is that it could take a while to get your checkup even if you get there early. Sometimes there maybe delays because the staff could be busy with other stuff or finishing wrapping up on donors who are done. Which could lead to you waiting in the wait room longer than you'd expect. Just remember to have your rapid pass done before going for your donation. And also make sure you have enough to drink or eat after you're done so you won't get sick or feel weak after your donation. Go to this donation center whenever you're eligible to donate as it's worth attending and doing a good deed to save others.

This is the last review as I don't intend to come here again…read more CSL Plasma is usually known for giving some cash for plasma donations, I used to go here weekly back when I was unemployed? The first round of donations were nice in terms of profit. And going once or twice a week yielded okay amounts of money. Now as of this month in 2025, I cannot recommend anyone to go here anymore. CSL has failed to adapt and keep up with its customers and operational layouts. Everytime I go there regardless of the time, there is a staff shortage and excessively long lines. The staff are unable to make time to help people who are either new or experienced. You go for 30 minutes and it can even take up to 2 hours. That's just how bad it is now? I originally had no issue with the staff, yet it's become more clear they are very unprofessional. Too many of the "individuals" do not understand the importance of maintaining decency in the workplace. Yet I still recall some of their talks about gross dates and personal medical issues? What really pulled me off CSL are the lower payments. They changed it so the first week donations are lower and a little higher for the 2nd visit? That's not right? Not everyone has the time to go here since it's a bit of a far drive. To be frank, they gotta fire almost everyone here and hire more professional and courteous employees. Witnessing and being in problems at CSL for many months is definitely proof you should not go here. Go anywhere else but here.

Been going here for about a year now and the service definitely has not changed. When you walk in…read morethere's not a lot of people upfront to help. Once you fill out your questionnaire you wait in line to do your usual check (weight, iron levels, temp, etc.) if all goes well you head to the line to get on the "donating floor". If all does not go well you either go home or see a nurse. I've had both experiences multiple times. When there is no problems I can be there 1.5hr but if I have to see the nurse it can be 2-2.5hrs you never know. Best day so far is Thursday. If you go on a Monday or Friday expect to be there 2-3hrs minimum. The customer service is average. There's a few people that you can just tell they hate their jobs. And there's a few that want to do their job quickly and efficiently. I only had one issue. There was a woman that was doing the "poking" that did not change her gloves once! I watched for 1hr go from person to person with the same gloves. I really wanted to say something but you don't really have much privacy there. When I went home I called to report it. Haven't seen her since and I hope she didn't lose her job but this is peoples health your messing with. Ever since that's time I make sure to watch them change gloves before and after they help me. Definitely a decent way to make some extra cash when needed. Will continue to show up as long as they continue to stay clean.

I can't remember her name but she had a tattoo I loved that said "this too shall pass". I joked that 'some things might pass like a kidney stone, but they will pass'. The anxiety was worse than the process itself, and I was rewarded with cheetos and juice and peanuts afterward, so I did a good deed and got something for it. She did a great job too. Didn't even bruise me and was very comforting all the way through it. Give blood. Sign up to be an organ donor. Save lives and make a difference!
