Pros

Really good honest work environment. Great cafeteria as long as you're M-F first shift.

Cons

Grifols is trying to get their money back from buying Talecris. Everyone is now required to take 72 hours of their own personal time off (nearly half our year's worth) while the plant is doing summer shutdown. We get paid by the minute. It's a 10 minute walk in and back out. There's no maternity leave, only short term disability.

Pros

Good for phlebotomy experience Meet interesting people Learn to keep plates spinning Good health benefits, but not enough to outweigh the health impacts Learn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment

Cons

Have to unlearn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment High school drama and toxicity, management is the prom king/queen Cliquey dramatic management team Reneged agreements Playing favorites, rules for thee but not for me Private employee info gets spread, often by those who are relied upon to keep it private No work life balance or boundaries, and it's an admitted and perpetually unaddressed fault Have to be made to feel guilty for wanting to leave production, get a break, or go to the bathroom High turnover "Is everyone else working as hard as I am?",-Everyone, and eventually you
