Haemonetics-Corporation

People for the most part were very friendly. They knew my name way before I can remember theirs. The entire facility is spotless air-conditioned and there are air purifiers throughout. Now to the heart or it. There are no drinking fountains in the plant area. So if you have kidney function issues and need to drink water on a regular basis, good luck. You can't wear watches or rings or have a cell phone. PPE gowns are a requirement and they are not a breathable fabric. During Hours on the production line I would sweat so much my shirt would be soaked. No joke I lost about 5 pounds in a month. Hours are from 5a to 1:30p but you'd be required to work overtime to complete the days quota.
There are a few lead people that treat you like trash. Regardless of your age and experience they talk to you like you were 5 years old. This is a good company for younger people with good hand eye coordination, dexterity and speed. That's no guarantee you will be there for long. They don't have patience for you to learn anything. If you don't get it within a few minutes they move you to another position or line. I hired on with a few younger candidates that had "hustle" yet we all got canned because the company didn't make the numbers for the month. Someone mentioned sweatshop, that hit it on the nose. Everyday I would come home with an backache. Glad it's over!


I worked for Haemonetics on a remediation team for a new product that had suffered major manufacturing defects while being produced by a contracted assembly plant overseas.  The project lasted just shy of two years.

The work was interesting and the facility was very clean and comfortable. Management was focused on quality of work more than rate of output, as such I never felt rushed and my motivation to work quickly/efficiently stemmed mostly from a sense of friendly competition among the technicians.

Management managed to foster a culture that was very open, collaborative,  supportive, and fair.  

The schedule was surprisingly flexible and pay was significantly above average for the region.  When, due to the loss of a significant contract, the company mothballed the manufacturing unit that was housed in the same facility as my team they have all of the production staff three months severance. That is unheard of for manufacturing facilities in the Wasatch front.

I only left because our project was completed and the business didn't have any roles in the region that would have made use of my skill set.  I would highly recommend this employer.

Overall as a corporation Haemonetics is a well organized and has great corporate structure from the USA to other countries.

The area of opportunity is at the division level in the USA specifically the eastern division or I should say the one I work in. They need more training from a Human Resources perspective and more enhanced training of Labor base. The training will help educate on job skills as well as policies pertaining to the workplace.

The Corporation itself offers a wide variety of advancement based on job performance and work ethic I have advanced here to a position I am very pleased with and continue to learn more each year. The area of opportunity at middle managmet level is to work towards division succsess and not individual teams and to incorporate a professional culture at all times.

Haemonetics is a multinational medical technology corporation that designs and and manufactures equipment for blood collection and storage and the software for that equipment. Although the company's atmosphere is somewhat starchy and "corporate," the employees at Haemonetics are compassionate, dedicated and competent. While working in the Communications department, I had the opportunity to learn about the community engagement efforts of the many Haemonetics office locations, which happen frequently and range from fundraisers to community service outings and charity work. Working at the headquarters in Braintree, MA, I had the opportunity to meet the upper management of the company, and found them to be direct, communicative and forward-thinking.

I help manage a team of direct labor employees to help meet corporate production goals, all while following GMP (good Manufacturing Practice), SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), and SIs (Standing Instructions).  I have learned lean manufacturing and helped implement a one piece flow system on our production lines.  The job has many challenges, but one of the greatest challenges comes from the constantly changing schedule, and we sometimes have to do a few line changes over the course of week.  Part shortages that shut down lines is also a challenge, and this can sometimes create unrest with some of the employees.  The most enjoyable part of the job is having the lines run constantly and efficiently for a couple weeks without having any shutdowns.  It's really rewarding seeing how well your lines can work when there are no issues.

The people you work with are generally amazing. However, management is a joke! Improper training, or lack of training is a common trend here. Like any company, there are expectations that are meant to be met, but without the proper training it really turns into a sink or swim situation. You end up training yourself most of what you need to know. For a company where they make medical supplies, you'd expect better involvement from upper management. I've had better experiences working for a grocery store or a gas station forever ago while in high school. I don't recommend anyone to work here until they fix management.

I found the culture to be very cold and clinical, and the management team to have zero empathy for employees.  The leadership team were not truthful with employees and therefore, no trust existed.  

No room for any error was tolerated.  The culture was moving very quickly due to major downsizings, outsourcing, etc.  Leaders were making decisions that made zero sense and literally could not be executed, but would brook no discussion on feasibility.  Then when a process or timeline failed, they were pointing fingers at everyone but themselves.

I did find that the levels below the leadership team to be caring individuals who were focused on product development and execution to embrace patient safety.  

Starting at 12.50 is great 3 to 4 days of work and picking up overtime whenever you wanted is great. Max review you can get a year is 40 cents unless you cross train different machines and get experience on all them maybe a little more but if your looking for 16 hour + you need a bachelor's degree or work for about 5 years. You can accumulate vacation hours which is great too 4.62 hours every two weeks and 7 paid holidays . 12 hour shifts and I make about 50 to 55 hours a week great OT pay. 
I am a machine op 2 position one of the highest starting pays.

Haemonetics is overall a good company to work for. It manufactures medication such as Ringer's lactate solution and saline for the blood banking industry.  It is a small plant where you get to know everyone. It is a good place to cut your teeth in a lab and learn cGMP.  They perform a lot of USP tests (wet chemistry). Overall,the employees and management are well - trained. 

I worked there as a Lab Tech/Engineering Intern. The workplace isn't very fast paced, nor is there a lot of pressure. Promotions are very hard to come by and this site isn't very people oriented. This means that there is a lot of people working in undesired positions. Management always acts as if everything is going well in the site, when in reality there is a lot that goes on in the factory. The staff is friendly but at the same time can be very toxic towards others. This includes a lot of gossip.
