No room for growth
They may tell you that there is room for advancement but it only goes so far. It all depends on how well your liked not how well you do your job. If you want to be in Management and excel, then you have to hire in as Management.

This is a good place to learn phlebotomy. If you’re a skilled phlebotomist they DONT pay very well for all they expect.
This is a good place to learn phlebotomy. If you are a skilled phlebotomist .They don’t pay very well and what they expect of you it’s a little unrealistic when certain factors are out of your control like the donors diet ,vein size , or if the donor isn’t even Doing what they’re supposed to do during the donation it’s on you.There are times when it is so busy and hectic the emergency room seemed more calm and organized. All they care about is how much plasma can you put in the bottle. This is the fast food of phlebotomy. You get people in there that donating plasma is their only source of income. If for any reason they’re not able to Receive full pay most of the time it’s due to The donors own dehydration. It’s on you even if management knows the situation the donor chooses to end the donation early to make it to an appointment even if they know it takes about an hour to donate.If that happens and you don’t get the full amount of plasma you get in trouble for not having a full donation.There is a reason plasma donation centers have revolving doors when it comes to employees.
ProsIf you donate you make $50.
ConsStressful, drama, hours, pay, attitude

Training Coordinator | Madison Heights, MI | Jan 29, 2018
I like the job but could use more pay for employees
I enjoyed working here with the donors and employees are always fun and upbeat. The managers work well with employees working with schedules and schooling.

Quality Assurance Manager | San Antonio, TX | Dec 14, 2017
Stressful environment
Lack of leadership in the centers. Remaining managers expected to pick up the slack of open positions upper management refuses to fill in efforts to cut costs
ConsUpper mangement does not care about the well being of their employees, works them until they burned out

Certified Phlebotomist | Madison Heights, MI | Sep 26, 2017
Great For Any Phlebotomy Exprience
Very fast paced work environment. Great company to work for if your looking to stay current with your blood draws as an phlebotomist. Most of the staff is very social and willing to help! The hardest part of the job, is being under staffed a lot of the times.
ProsThe company buys staff lunch sometimes
ConsManagement and Being over worked at times !

How are the working hours at Octapharma?
Asked Jun 28, 2016
Terrible scheduling sometimes you will work 7 days straight or more all closing shift or a close then early opening shift being expected not to complain when you're stuck doing all of the work
Answered Nov 24, 2020
The scheduling hours are horrible you do not have a life working at Octapharma Plasma and they make you work all holidays which is ridiculous
Answered Dec 10, 2019
If you were in charge, what would you do to make Octapharma a better place to work?
Asked Nov 18, 2019
Better and more fair pay to all the staff, they really work their butts off for pennies. I think there should be more incentives for working hard too, OPI would be able to keep the good employees and weed out the bad this way.
Answered Nov 5, 2020
Stop bring cheap, hire more staff to provide better work place and better customer service
Answered Sep 28, 2020
How do you feel about going to work each day at Octapharma?
Asked Jun 8, 2017
Hate it because I know what a typical day was going to be like if the donor floor Supervisor was at work she was low down and dirty
Answered Dec 10, 2019
I look forward going to work every day. I believe it's a rewarding career & meeting new people (donors) is a plus for me! I don't like closing because you never know what time you'll get to leave... but other than that, it's the easiest nursing job you'll ever have!
