Staff is pleasant and professional and the place is clean however its noticeable that donors do not pick up after themselves or at time seem to treat the business as a second home or hang out place instead of the place of business it is.

I waited half an hour in that line to have them send me to medical for a teeny bruise made a week ago by the donation process? Nurse is slow as can be, looks tired of her job, and there seems to be no structure to expediting the process- I spent another 20 minutes watching the line grow as I waited. I drove from afar, and still got pissed enough to walk out after an hour. There is really no excuse for a return donor to have to stand in line that long. Seriously, Javier, you have a gold mine that takes in huge money, and you can't staff your place better? Tell your CEOs to drop a vacation or two out of their normal 6/year and spend some $ on more staff.

This is one of my favorite places to make a donation. Did you know that donating blood is actually…read morevery good for your health? It reduces your risk of a heart attack and is good for your liver! It also helps save lives. The staff and volunteers at this location of the American Red Cross are very friendly and professional. From the moment I walk through the door to when I leave the rest area (packed with complimentary snacks!), I feel cared for and appreciated. I consider it an honor to be able to donate blood to help others.

I had switched to this center last year as they take appointments, and my previous center did not,…read moreand often had an hour or two backlog. While they sometimes have staffing issues, like most companies these days, they are usually pretty good about getting you in and out in a reasonable time. I am one who is fortunate to have good veins, so the staff usually has no trouble finding one for a good draw. I can't say I've observed them having too much trouble with other clients, either, unlike the center I used to go to in California. Staff is pretty friendly, in general, though some in the pre-screen area could be a little more vocal. Their pay scheme is about the same as other centers, on a monthly basis, but is really only worth it if you go twice a week. The first time in a week is only $20, and the second is $80 currently (with occasional bonuses). Hardly worth it if you are only able to go once a week. CSL's monthly schedule $40-40-40-40-50-50-50-50(or whatever it is now) is much more equitable for the weekly donor, but I prefer the schedule of Biomat in California I went to which was $35 for the first donation of the month, increasing $5 each time, with occasional $20 bonuses for two in a week, donating on a holiday, etc. Still a great tax-exempt extra income, plus helping out those in need.

This place has been great so I would like to give them the props they deserve. I've been going to this location for quite some time. The facility is clean, the staff is friendly and they work hard to keep things moving. The employees there now are so great together. I've noticed their sense of teamwork and professionalism. Especially Christian. He was connecting me on a machine and told his coworker he was going to take the other guy down next, nothing unusual, but you just feel the sense of teamwork. I also like Ms. Peggy, the lady with beautiful silver hair. She is so sweet. Whoever the supervisors are, they are doing a wonderful job. It's a good environment to be in.
