They were cool and easy to talk to, they helped you through the process of giving a donation and they made you feel comfortable during the process.

Beware of BIOLIFE ;-( Appears they think they're better than any other plasma collection…read morecompany. BioLife can go FUCK OFF! BioLife - Needs to seriously educate their staff! I was checking out BioLife on May 14th, told has to be 7 days from last visit to CLS was May 11th, told to return on May 18th. Spent 3+ hours becoming a new member at BioLife, after the full exam, getting drained and told to return on Wednesday 20th as that would be 2nd in 7 days. I return to BioLife on 20th, told I'm still popping up in system at CLS, so return on 22nd today. Now, told that because I have popped up 2 times as another center, I'm band from BioLife for every!!! That's there rules, not anyone else's rules. So I have only gave plasma once in 7 days (Monday to Monday is 6 days) but, because I checked in on 20th and the 14th (gave nothing, no blood test or plasma), just checked IN, I CAN'T go to BioLife Plasma every again! That's just dumb! All because there STAFF us not trained properly. Spoke with manager stephanie , and she apologizes and says we'll train her people!

(I don't really know how to review this place because I had never given plasma beforehand. I have…read moreno other place to compare this to, so please forgive me for any inaccuracies.) First, I have to apologize, but I absolutely hate the location. It is in one of the worst areas in Stone Mountain off of Memorial Drive where they shut down one of the worst Kroger locations. There are always scary looking people hanging around this shopping center looking for money from poor saps like me! I have gotten used to the people around here, but I do not recommend outsiders to shop here at all! The parking lot is very spacious, but very dirty. There is always plenty of parking, but there is always plenty of trash everywhere as well. The plasma facility seemed to be clean and the people were friendly enough, but one thing I hate is to know what all the employees were up to the night before or the last weekend. I found myself in the middle of an across-the-room type of conversation between two employees who were telling each other (and everyone else in the room) all of their business. I'm sorry, but this just is not professional. Another thing that irks me is the pay. Mind you, I don't fault the facility for its procedures, but I think they could pay at least 3 times the amount they give you for your plasma that comes out of your body. Again, these are just my personal thoughts. BOTTOM LINE: The actual facility is okay, but after the first time I would never have went back there if I didn't really need the money at the time.

After being told by Red Cross customer service that seating accommodations could be made, I…read morescheduled an appointment at this location hoping for a better experience. Unfortunately, it was even worse. When I politely asked if I could donate while seated, explaining that lying down made me uncomfortable, the staff not only refused my request but also spoke to me in a hostile and condescending manner. In front of other donors in the lobby, I was questioned aggressively about why I didn't want to lay down, making me feel embarrassed and unwelcome. I had come in willing and ready to donate, simply asking for a basic adjustment to make the process more comfortable. Instead, I was treated rudely and left feeling like I was a burden for even asking. This is not the way donors should be treated -- especially when Red Cross constantly stresses how urgently they need blood donations. This experience makes me wonder how many willing donors are turned away not because they can't donate, but because they are treated with so little understanding and professionalism. Very disappointing.

Every time I came to this location. The system was either down or they wasn't taking no new donors for some reason. Sometimes it'll be a line and of course I don't know how many people are actually at work at that time so sometimes I get it. Although most times when I went it would be maybe 5 people in line and maybe a few people in the back but they was still taking no donors. I would like to add I've been trying to do this for a full month now on different days at different times early and later in the day but same result. Even calling the donor advocates line didn't resolve anything and it seems like they are reading from a customer service handbook and not really able to help with anything other than basic donor stuff that you can research on the website yourself. Only thing I can say is that the workers who I have talked to in the center seemed nicw so I can't complain there.
