I went to this clinic in hopes of earning the $50.00 advertised donation payment.
I called Talecris and was told it would take 31/2 hours to donate.
I also went to their web site and read all the guidelines for donating.
The web site stated it would only take 21/2 hours to donate.
I also reviewed all the restrictions for donating. I seem qualified according to their web site statements.
The clinic is filthy, the outside parking lot and front door area has garbage and cigarette butts every where. The garbage even trails in through their double doors into the clinic.
I sat for a total of 12 hours, being fed lie after lie threw the entire day sitting there. The staff and Manager treated me with utter disrespect.
After 12 hours of this insanity, I was told I could not donate due to the prescription medication I take.
But they take the blood of cocaine and herion users.
I asked why they just were not truthfull up front about all the restrictions and time it really takes.
The staff member told me because if people really knew how long it takes, and the restrictions they would not get any donations.
So in other words, we lie to potential donors to get you in there, we could care less that your day was totally taken up and you get no compensation for all that.
This clinic is outrageous, they need to clean it up, get Professional Management, and start running the place with at least some regard for the people willing to donate.
DO NOT GO TO TALECRIS, YOU WILL GET USED!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I go to Talecris twice a week. My first day it took me 3-4 hours to get fully done. You have to come early if you wanna be out fast that time that they give you is for if no one is there before you. Also I am not on any meds, and they do not take the blood of heroin users, they do a blood test on you for anything and everything and they check you for needle marks every time you go donate. They do an amazing job, and you were just incorrectly informed and did not do things the smart way. I am a college student and they put a pretty decent amount into my pockets between paychecks, so do not down talk something just because you did not think to ask ahead because of some medication you are on.
I am a prior donor at Talecris and have never had to sit and wait so long to get weighed and screened. I was here when the doors opened and it took the front counter person a hour to get to me and they also checked someone else in that came in an hour after I did. The way they have the sign in sheet is ridiculous. When it was operated by appointments it ran alot smoother and you actually got to donate with in the slotted time period and didn't have anyone get checked in and weighed ahead of you.
