Talecris Plasma Resources

I have given plasma at 2 other centers prior to my first experience at Talecris in Bloomington IL. There are 2 positives followed by a list of negatives that went along with my first 2 donations. The positives include: $ 75 dollars for each of the first 2 donations & generosity of food and beverages when I had a long weight. The $ 75 is a solid amount of money per each donation in this industry and you get a free atm withdrawal per donation. A phlebotomist gave me a couple packs of crackers and a PowerAde when my 1^st appointment took longer than normal.
The negatives: I have never seen slower workers in a plasma center. It seemed liked people were just there floating by until the end of the day instead of working. On my second donation one phlebotomist stood around talking to another co-​worker for 5 minutes so that she could leave at the end of her shift, instead of getting my donation started. Frustrated does not even describe it. My first donation took almost 6 hours. I went there at 7:40 am on Saturday morning and did not get home until around 2 pm. In what should have taken no more than 2 hours somehow they took 6. The second donation was supposed to be around an hour because I had an appointment, but again it took them a whole hour to get me checked in. I was there for 2 hours. This time the guy that was supposed to be my phlebotomist was more concerned with flirting with a co-​worker for nearly 10 minutes while I waited on him. Note if you have a timely schedule you need to avoid going to Talecris. Also the staff lost my file. 2 or 3 people that worked there told me that they could not find my personal file. Even though they eventually found it, I can hardly trust them with my personal information because it took them 30 minutes to find my file. Last, several staff members were rude. The nurses specifically. They have a drill sergeant attitude and demand yes & no answers. I forgot a couple times and was treated like I committed a crime.
The one star is for the positives.
