Pros

AlloSource offers employees a very fulfilling career. The opportunity to help save and enhance lives outside of the healthcare field is amazing. The Operations department has been going through many major changes this past year and has made new positions and roles. As long as employees are hard workers, have a positive attitude and meet their goals they are rewarded. AlloSource has numerous ways for employees to be compensated and rewarded as well as recognized among peers. They also have a very generous benefits package which also has ways to be rewarded for living a healthy lifestyle. The on-site clinic is very convenient for employees who may feel ill. There are many reasons AlloSource is great and the fact that they hire with-in shows that there are opportunities to advance your career if you are willing to work hard and keep a positive attitude.

Cons

The major changes in operations has been difficult with management changes, scheduling changes and job restructuring its a lot of change in such a short amount of time. I feel these changes have made a huge disconnect between the staff and upper management. With gaps in our staffing and our daily schedules being incorrect it gets frustrating very quickly. AlloSource had a great track record until recently...I think that some things are not meant to be changed and certainly not changing 5 things in a department at once would help calm the swell.

Pros

3 day weekend and sick time

Cons

The recent views don't truly knows what goes on in Operations, Let me break it down to save you time so you know. Turnover rate is very high. Your supervisor does not know the process of your job and does absolutely nothing. They hire anyone that has a pulse so please take your educational experience then LEAVE ASAP. Some Co-workers had major anger and harassment problems, There are some Co-workers that are cool, they help you survive and have a good laugh. They may take overtime away. They may make you leave early. They would increase production rate BUT equipment is broken from night/weekend shift so you cant do your job. But still get blame! Your Supervisor just sit in his office to go to his meeting(getting donuts/coffee/Sport bets). You are gown all day so you wont have access to water and bathroom. Got anxiety? Breathing problems under stress? Get headaches and dizziness when tired? Get sweaty easy? You will not have a good time. If you only need experience take it and continue looking. Take advantage of the three day weekend and don't get to comfortable.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We would like to address several of the concerns you expressed. We have a robust hiring process for our Tissue Processing Technician role including a phone screen, onsite tour/job immersion, and interview. Working in a cleanroom setting can be physically demanding and we are clear with potential applicants about what the job entails. We are always trying to increase our supervisor’s capability and team engagement. We conduct annual engagement surveys and encourage our employees to have an open dialogue with their managers about concerns. We also have an open-door policy, HR support, and the AlloSource hotline available to report concerns that the company can address. Our turnover rate is below industry standard, and we are proud of that. We appreciate the work you did for us and wish you the best in your future endeavors.
