Young, unprofessional and obviously poorly educated. That is the staff not the donors. Avoid like the plague or you may contract it while you're there.
- Emma Diaz2014-05-18★★★★★
The facility is very updated, clean, and has generally good vibes. The staff are friendly and the process are fine.

I used to donate at BioLife until I moved. There was hardly ever a wait, the staff was always friendly, professional, and efficient. I just assumed my experience there was the norm...boy was I wrong. I have tried donating in Indianapolis and the wait times have been terrible, the staff made me feel like a cow being shuttled through a meat factory instead of a customer. I really miss BioLife and would recommend it to anyone.

Man, I donate up in Indy but from what I'm hearing maybe I need to go to Bloomington. If I can help save someone, make some cash and basil this Paula girl that seems like a triple threat, a hat trick!
- Sally2012-09-29★★★★★
I think the staff has become better about the goofing around. However, I had a similar experience with the management. In my first donation I asked what the possible side effects were. She was very sarcastic telling me death was the worst thing that could happen, but it never has. She then, in a nasty tone, asked if I really wanted to do this. I find it unusual that a medical \_professional\_ was intolerant of someone wanting to know potential side effects. However, despite this I had a decent experience. I feel that a medical center should be held to a higher standard though.

This place is awful. No one acts professionally, including management!! Every time I go in there one of the managers is always hanging over some cutesy co-ed. it's disgusting to see that level of inappropriate behavior out of one of the MANAGERS! The staff is often telling dirty jokes or talking about other things that they shouldn't. I wouldn't go if I didn't need the money.
- JJ2011-04-01★★★★★
I have been to other plasma centers and this place is great. I think the staff is kind of fun and keep me coming back. I recommend! Help people, get money. It's a win win.
- Daniel2010-12-09★★★★★
Staff is rude and treats donors like they are all bums! Staff is very unproffesional, telling dirty jokes and are just sour faced especially \_Kandice\_. I was even injured due to staff member \_sticking\_ me as they were chatting with another employee about getting drunk at the bars the night before. Avoid this place at all costs the little bit of cash is not worth the abuse. BTW I have complained to management several times as have others but nothing ever changes,. This is one miserable donation center AVOID!
- Kimmie2010-12-09★★★★★
Worse donation center. FYI not all blood donars are crack heads or street people! SOme of us do it to help others and dont care about the money so stop treating donars as if you are doing us a favor. I would not go here again staff very unproffesional goofing off waayy too much and just plain rude. If you don't like your job quit, others will take it!
- Michiko2010-02-19★★★★★
The staff looks miserable most of the time or spends a lot of time goofing off. The management seems to always be in offices or at least not actually looking at what is going on. Way too busy most of the time and when the staff is working, they can't keep up. I won't be back.
- Michael P2010-02-09★★★★★
I get extra cash when I need it; everyone has been polite toward me. I don't really mind the staff goofing around some...less stress = happier employees = a better experience for the donator. Doesn't hurt to have thick skin, either. ;)
- 1-2-32009-07-26★★★★★
I feel there is a need for better management. Bathrooms are never clean and have the supplies. One male employee is absolutely the most immature...Dancing around, just goofy. This unprofessionalism needs to be corrected.
- PJW2009-04-22★★★★★
To SAM SLAM : That was probably the problem, Paula would give you the time of day. Maybe you need a thing or to taught to you about not running your MOUTH
- Philip2009-04-13★★★★★
Place is dirty at times, too busy and everyone cant keep up, employees dont take their job seriously, alot of goofing off and inappropiate conversations.
- Happy Harry2009-03-30★★★★★
My donation experience has always been good. Your staff is friendly and do the best they can considering how busy it is whenever I'm there. Keep it up!
- Ruby2009-02-23★★★★★
Your facilty is poorly ran. Seems dirty at times, and the staff is not professional. Management must not be doing their job.
- Loyal Lisa2009-02-20★★★★★
I have been donating at the Bloomington, IN BioLife for two years now and have great respect for the employees there. I feel safe and respected not to mention I can make some extra money!
- Tom2009-02-20★★★★★
Everything has always been great!
- Sam Slam2009-01-28★★★★★
your girl Paula needs a thing or two taught to her about the difference between politeness and flirting, I would not have been suprised if I had given here the time of day if she wouldnt have hopped in my car outside and done the deed. there is a BIG difference between being nice and friendly than being slutty.
- Bobby T.2009-01-28★★★★★
The past couple years experiences have been good, but here lately not so good. Some of your new people need to clean theirselves up, regarding their actions and words towards members of the opposite sex.
