    These people will find or create any reason to not pay you or do their job. Absolute waste of 2…read morehours only to be deferred for "wheezing". Everything else came back perfect. These people will use the most arbitrary excuses to simply not do their job.

    MORTIFIED! That's what many people would be when publicly disclosing that they donated plasma for…read moremoney. I'm not those people. The process was pretty easy. Show up with a social security card, I.D., and proof of residence, answer some questions, watch a few videos, get your weight & blood pressure checked & you're in. The paperwork & videos are for first timers only & take about an hour. The plasma collection itself takes roughly another hour. Here's the process. You're seated in an upholstered reclining thing and a friendly phlebotomist inserts a port into your arm. The machine separates the plasma from the rest of your blood and gives you the balance back. The port isn't really painful, but it is a little uncomfortable. I was paid $100 for my time & plasma, which is well more than I make per hour at my job. This is an introductory rate, however, and the typical donation probably earns far less. How much less you ask? I don't know because the CSL website makes no mention of the typical rate. Closely guarded secret? Annoying. Afterwards: I didn't feel great. I was tired and hungry with a slight headache. Hangover isn't the right word for the symptoms, but it is def in the hangover family. No matter, a two hour nap took care of 90% of the feeling and I was 100% myself the next day. This is NOT something I'd recommend doing before work or on a day where you have important things to accomplish. Also, get there early and beat the rush. Unsurprisingly, regular plasma donors are NOT generally early risers. I'm going to do this again, as my next donation will also net me 100 clams for an hour sitting in a chair. After that, we'll see how far the compensation is reduced before I decide to return.

    The center in Canton is horrible. The last donation I tried to give, a new guy was checking my…read morevitals and when he pricked my finger blood went everywhere. Then he said I wasn't drinking enough water(I drink water all the time) and then said I couldn't donate. I knew he was in the wrong but no one believed me. Instead they said I threw a bloody cotton swab at him and am no longer able to donate. These people are somethin else.

    a staff member was rude to me and I emailed corporate about the situation a week later I was called…read moreby the center and told that I was being deferred becuase i "made some female staff members uncomfortable " I AM A GAY MAN ! Even if I wasn't the staff member who was rude to me looks like a beaver got hit by a semi truck directly in the face and got thrown off the road into a beautymart I'm also autistic and I've told the managers that sometimes I have difficulty being seen as rude even when I'm being sincere or having my sense of humor be misinterpreted.... To defer me at a time when things are so volatile with government assistance programs is extremely problematic it's clearly discrimination and retaliation for complaining about the rude staff member. I accidentally dropped an fbomb today when the girl I complained about and her friend refused to come unhook me from the machines and I had to wait for a different staff member to come over when she couldn't get her device to scan properly I asked her to "please just take out my needle cus It (f*) hurt " for this I was deferred. They refused to do their jobs and somehow I now have to go without ......
