While the work this company performs in providing solace to donor families and necessary surgical grafts to recipient patients is important, the internal reality of this organization is that it simply exists to enrich a select group of people. The people who bring the most value to this company, perform the most stressful and physically demanding work, and are the cornerstone of driving revenue are under paid, regularly reprimanded for going to the bathroom or getting water, and pigeon holed into having very little real opportunity to grow their careers, skills, or wages. This company masquerades as a non-profit organization simply because of a legal loop hole which requires them to operate as one. The over paid managements projects are often pointless, a waste of money, and downright detrimental to the well being of the people they rely on to generate their bottom line. They attempt to appease middle management and below with meaningless random incremental pay raises, occasional cheap brought in catering, and company propaganda that everything you are doing matters so much. If their people matter so much to them, why do they pay themselves wages that make them wealthy and leave less than adequate money for the people on the bottom to survive? Come work in the core if you want to be treated like a subservient sub-human who needs to ask permission to go to the bathroom, because what you do matters.

i liked working there in the beginning the pay seemed fair and the work isn’t too hard if you can follow basic procedure. they will expect you to train new hires in the core with no extra pay, which i think is pretty unethical. This was the main contributor to me leaving the company, i should not be doing any work outside of my job description without an extra pay incentive, and even then training is extremely overwhelming and employees should be asked before being forced into training a new hire, especially when there are people in higher positions (and with more longevity) that could and in my opinion should be training new hires . All of the employees with seniority (higher positions, higher pay) take on more of a supervisor roll most of the time while in the core, which was weird to me because if i’ve only worked here a few months what sense does it make for me a train a new hire when a person who was worked here for multiple years is available? it just seemed like i was working twice as hard for the same pay rate and it was not a good feeling. i will say the turnover here is more than i’ve ever seen at any company i’ve worked at, which i can understand because i got burned out very quickly. to each their own, if you don’t like working in a team setting i do not recommend applying here. it is very close quarters within the core and not being fond of one coworker on your team can very easily make this job a dreadful experience. i accepted a position outside of this company but if these issues are addressed and the pay was higher, i would be happy to returned if any positions opened up. 

I love that our goal is here to help others using the gift of donation but I feel as though there is a underlaying toxic culture that is barley hidden under the surface. It seems as though some people fail upwards and get promotions they don't deserve while hard workers are kept in their current positions that they are very good at instead of earning a promotion over a poorer choice candidate. Also, many positions have a top out where you no longer can earn a promotion or raise so you feel like you are stuck in a position with no more career advancement unless you fully change departments. Or when a manager/supervisor wants to get you a promotion they can't because of some sort of hold up from HR or something. Depending on the position/job  in the company they offer great work from home flexibility and they also offer a great PTO/FTO policy but there is word that that is going to be changing next year for the worse. Every year I have worked here the benefits have only gotten worse and the pay raises have also been diminishing. I do love that they have monetary rewards that are given out to workers called Ace Awards, Awards of Excellence, and Continuous Process Improvements that people can earn with different reasons but are mostly rewarded to people when nominated by their fellow employees which I believe helps enforce any sort of positive work culture that AlloSource is trying to build. Overall, AlloSource is a decent place to work (especially if you get a good supervisor/manager) but there is just too many things wrong with the place but its a job that pays my bills and I am happy enough to stay at currently.

This company is very driven by mission.  Which is great, considering what they do there. 

A typical day at work was busy, a lot of hustle and bustle in very tiny spaces.  There are shift "wars", and a lot of finger pointing that goes on, before anything is resolved.  
From working here, I learned a lot about biologic regulations, quality control, and the process of organ and tissue donation.
Management is very poor.  There is a lot of favoritism, and seems to be held to a different standard of accountability, by those above them.   
My co-workers here were fantastic.  A truly great team to work with.  They are all hard working and very knowledgeable regarding processes performed within the controlled work area.  
I would say the hardest part of the day here, is dealing with management, or other departments designed to support the technicians, being understaffed and reassigned duties constantly.
The most enjoyable part of this job, is the satisfaction you feel, after you have heard a story from a donor family, thanking your company for fulfilling its mission, and giving back to the community.

I worked at allosource about a year the company does have some good benefits but not worth being there. Recently they've been taking away benefits from employees, taking away PTO, if the company goes on lockdown you have to use PTO, the turn over rate is rediculous they dont care about your job security from what I have personally seen. Managment extremely favors certain people and have a low expectation for them making others work harder to pick up slack the minute you clock in for a 12hr shift your expected to be working to the minute you clock out. Allosource lacks diversity and some have felt profiled, training is also a large issue within the company laziness and bad attitude is all I got from my trainer I learned more on my own. My biggest issue is not being able to use the restroom as I pleased because your in the sterile core you're limited to when you should leave to use the restroom making everyone extremely dehydrated. There is no excuse for these things happening its the way the company is from an employees inside view.

At first this place seemed ok. I was learning and excited to work there. Benefits and pay. Incentives and OT were good. The management did not care about your well being or helping to make sure you succeed. The pay for the job is not composited enough for the work overload. It’s all about money and productivity for the company. They could care less about their employees. You get mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually drained very quick. They expect you to train with no additional pay and do not care about the employees needs or wants. There is no work life balance. The culture is not professional and there is so much drama. People come and go and the management does nothing to keep their good employees who actually want to grow and be there. They bribe you with incentives but this place is a trap and curse. Good luck with everything if hired. I don’t know how some people last so long. 

I worked in the core. Terrible treatment from the higher ups. The core is extremely hot every summer and its dangerous for everyones health. They give huge bonuses to the higher ups (15%) and the core employees get only 5%. Also, you have to do a lot of extra work just to get that bonus and its probably more like 2.5%. They made everyone (core employees) work through the COVID lockdown and even encouraged overtime. They only gave the people who worked through that 20hrs of PTO. They force you to use PTO no matter what. Sick, snowing, or just need a mental health day? You HAVE to use PTO. You work 10-12 hr days but when you get paid for a holiday you only get 8 hours. The company has potential to be great but they rather keep themselves wealthy and keep promoting men they're friends with instead of who is best for the job. AND your yearly raise is based off ridiculous rules that are impossible to completely get.

The company named the operations cleanroom the 'Core' presumably because it is the core of the whole company yet they treat those employees like children and don't trust or respect them. If you are young and single, this is a great job for a while, but if you have a family, they require a doctor's note everytime you have to miss a day whether it's just a common cold or worse. You are required to work holidays and management only praises employees that put in overtime hours. The favoritism from upper management and HR really makes it hard to advance in the company and often times can make for an uncomfortable work environment with the fraternization of supervisors with some select employees. A lot of the management seems sexist and has even been reported for such behavior but they always seem to have job security and no consequences. This place is a revolving door!

I feel as though knowing that you're helping others going through some of their most difficult times in their lives, is somewhat of a driver in me working there. The people you work with, make it that much better!

I honestly have so many positive things to say with the various people I've worked with through the years- it's been amazing! The only thing that is hard to deal with, is the fact that the pay is still lagging behind. They've made strides recently, but how expensive it is living out in Denver, it makes it very difficult to stay. 

I also sometimes wish that growth was the only focus for this company... I think investing more into personal growth, improving processes, and overall making things run more smoothly, is what could ultimately drive the company far more than on its current path.

AlloSource is a great place to learn about the gift of donation. It is no disagreement that what the company does is life saving.  However, the company is disorganized, doesn't know the direction it is going in, and is too siloed. They preach change, but the change isn't really happening and in the meantime the financials are lacking and operationally, the company can't fulfill orders to customers and is losing credibility and it's respect with customers. They want to believe there is no one else doing what we do, but that's far from the truth. It's incredibly competitive and AlloSource has fallen behind instead of continuing to be ahead of the curve. I fear that any change is going to come too late. The company is better going public and being acquisitioned. We would be respecting and honoring the gift of life better and in more depth by having the financial and operational backing as a public company than a non-profit.
