Pros

Great product necessary to make life saving medications.

Cons

They talk of having a great culture, yet laid off over 300 employees with no notice, minimal severance, and healthcare benefits that expired at midnight the day they were terminated. Current employees have no trust of upper management. Dog eat dog culture. I don't think the CEO is the problem, I think it is more of the wanna be senior leadership that operates in a vacuum that is the problem.

Pros

* Flexible scheduling coordination between coworkers (when staffing allows, just work it out amongst yourselves, I promise you will regret involving managers in there), including opening and closing shifts * Exposure to fast-paced, high-volume clinical and donor-facing workflow * Opportunity to collaborate with coworkers across multiple operational roles * Experience adapting to shifting responsibilities across screening, production, and medical support functions * Direct involvement in donor care workflow and real-time clinical operations

Cons

* Attendance/point system lacks nuance for real-world emergencies, including natural disasters or unavoidable delays * Minor tardiness (even with communication) can result in disciplinary points * Absences and no-call/no-shows are treated similarly within a narrow point threshold system * In practice, employees can reach termination thresholds quickly without contextual consideration * Perceived inconsistency in application of attendance and scheduling policies * Some schedule adjustments or accommodations appear to be applied selectively or inconsistently * Communication around enforcement and policy changes is not always clearly standardized * Investigation and disciplinary processes can feel simultaneous rather than neutral * Employees involved in reported incidents may perceive outcomes as predetermined during review processes * This creates concern that corrective actions may be initiated before full context is established * Role instability for clinical staff during shifts * Employees are frequently reassigned between clinical and operational tasks * This can create tension between maintaining patient care responsibilities and meeting production demands * Repeated task switching can impact workflow efficiency and staff focus * Operational restructuring often increases workload on remaining staff * Staffing shortages are frequently managed through redistribution of duties rather than adding coverage * This results in overlapping responsibilities and reduced downtime during shifts
