We Are Blood

Management fails to communicate on the most basic of issues. Requesting time off is a hassle and proof of purchase for plane/bus ticket is required. Staff is very unwelcoming and instead of addressing an issue with you (I.e. If you are doing something incorrectly) they will go to a manager and get you in more trouble than is necessary. The atmosphere is definitely hostile and the whole company is uncomfortable to work for. Very rarely is a lunch period scheduled even when a shift exceeds 8 hours. Equipment is in bad condition. Management does not listen to input. Management will allude to promotions or advancements but never follow through and leave staff feeling lied to and unmotivated. The work itself is enjoyable but the management and staff make this company very undesirable to work for.

I worked here for about 6 months.  It was almost worth getting the paid training and getting back into blood draws.  It is definitely a "good ol boys" company.  There are lifers here that have no desire to be better and advance their careers.  You can notice them day one.  They're the rude ones that act like they hate life.  The trainers show you one thing during training but the second no ones looking or they get rushed, they cut corners putting the blood and donor at risk.  There are simple guidelines put in place for safety but the long-term employees couldn't care less.  Blood not stored correctly on buses, mushrooms found growing on the floor due to how dirty the buses are.  My advice.....stay far away.

They offer good benefits and the PTO is good as well. The turnover rate for Tech I is astounding. Mainly because they will pay you like garbage when you are training ($13/HR), and then not make your training a priority, and make you do detailed and extensive work for basically not even enough to live. I can't say staff is nice either. Gossipy. This is high school with more tattle tales than a kindergarten. So just keep your mouth shut. Speaking of keeping your mouth shut, management doesn't care what you have to say either. 

I've never considered walking out on the spot until I was hired here. You'll have great health insurance, but be sure to save some of that money for a therapist because you're going to go crazy. God bless. 

Not enough pay for a lot of work, very clique type environment, a lot of immature behavior. There are some great people but sadly the bad outweighs the good. For a company that says they care so much about the mission it seems they care more about themselves and the process. At the end of the day the care for donors and staff by management seems to be very staged for managements own capitalization.

If you possess good work ethic, this is not the place for you. Many staff members are only interested in doing the bare minimum...if that. There is no accountability to do the work and do it properly which is really sad considering the importance of the job. Absolutely no room for advancement unless someone in management is your friend and will go to bat for you. Starting pay is super low and raises are basically non-existent. 

I have worked for WrB in the past and was recently rehired. I absolutely love the people I work with and the team environment that is infused on a day-to-day basis. Everyone’s opinion counts and staff are heard. Management values their employees and is always looking for ways to improve the organization. It feels good coming to work knowing you are appreciated and people care about you.

Volunteering at We Are Blood as a wonderful experience. I always looked forward to next time. I even get there 20 minutes early just in case they had a project for me. which was about twice a week for me since I go three times a week. They understand about my medical conditions. If you have a chance to work or volunteer there. Go for it. You will not regret it.

If you are looking for the most rewarding career of your life then look no further. We Are Blood is home to some of the BEST people you will ever meet. They will bring you in to the We Are Blood family, give you the highest level of training, support you through your learning phase, and help you grow and excel in every way imaginable. I could not be more proud to be apart of our mission. 

Being able to play into the political games in VITAL when working here. They want you to feel valued in the work you do, but it is really just about who you know and how well you can help hide things with them.  I would highly recommend working for another non-profit that actually cares for the cause and not about the social status of their employees.

I've been with We Are Blood as a Tissue Recovery Technician for 10 months. I love the people I work for and with. The only downside is taking call, but that is just how this career field works.
