Customer Reviews

This place is horrible on time and management on the floor in the back. They want to do anything else other than there job. They have beds full of people to be stuck and there running there mouths and do anything else. So don't come here if your looking for a quick visit. The people in back don't care and it will be 45 mins before they start the process in the back.

I have been donating here for almost 8 years and I love the people there! They become like family and treat you very well! I've donated at other places and none come close to the Grifols in Monroe. If you're in need of some quick and easy money, go to Grifols on Desiard!

Grifols is impressive. The staff has a great customer service. My experience is always good and fast.

upon checkin in the staff was off of all task didnt stick people in order n over looked

There is a woman named Ashley who wears a stitch name tag, DO NOT LET HER STICK YOU!!! She can not stick and she bruised me. They wouldn't let me donate until the doctor comes, once a week.

Love the staff and I always have a great experience with them

The only reason I keep going back is because of the Black manager woman and Gabe.

The staff are all very nice and makes you feel welcome from the time you walk in until the time you walk out. Facility is clean. Staff is professional and will remember you and jokes around to help you relax. 2 weeks later and my review is the same. I really enjoy coming here and the friendliness of the staff.

Don't come on a Sunday they be lazy

Great staff, easy donation, clean facility

The staff is super friendly. The process from start to finish is done in a timely manner no long lines. They pay is put on a card which is a good form of payment and it is also done in a timely manner. I recommend anyone to try it. If you need a little cash in your pocket to hold you over til payday this is the place to try.

Very caring and professional. You are treated with respect. It is a 3 hour one time screening and if you miss a couple of months between donating you will have to be screened again, it's protocol. These are lives we are saving. The financial compensation is a plus. But be courteous. Thank you Talecris

I have been donating here since I was 18 and I love the people there! They become like family and treat you very well! I've donated at other places and none come close to the Grifols in Monroe. If you're in need of some quick and easy money, go to Grifols on Desiard! ??1 Grifols Talecris - Plasma Donation

The staff here is great! I would not go to any other center!

The staff is super friendly. The process from start to finish is done in a timely manner no long lines. Great place! It feels good to be helping people. I would recommend this place. I use to work here and it's a great place to work..

I love coming here. Different, unique personalities. The employees here make donating fun. Sometimes lines get long but that's anywhere, worth the wait,nice people, good place to donate.

Ridiculous wait times. Half the employees good and the other half need to be let go. Be at the front booth on their phone texting, no sense of urgency, be mad looking like they hate their job. If you don't want to be here get the heck out!

Very respectful staff in Polite process

The staff is super friendly. The process from start to finish is done in a timely manner no long lines. They pay is put on a card which is a good form of payment and it is also done in a timely manner. I recommend anyone to try it.

The employees care more about socializing, and checking phones/smart watches than they do your time. THE MOST UNPROFESSIONAL PLASMA CENTER I'VE EVER BEEN TO. Also, they seem to always be understaffed. Management needs to get their employees in line, or find new management.

I have been here for hours and hours waiting to be signed up as a new donor. All I see are people behind the desk, laughing and cutting up, no one is working. Ive literally been here for almost 5 hours. They don't treat you like any other company treats a customer or a guest. No one has a name tag on so you have no clue who is who. They know your here because you need the money and therefore they do whatever they want, talk to you however they want and take how long they want because they know you'll stay..

Update - 2nd Saturday that they have lost my paper and skipped me. I've been here 2 hours and have been pushed to the back of the line repeatedly. I nicely ask for this to be checked and they act like I'm crazy. I'd appreciate the manager contacting me because this is totally unacceptable Waited for 2 hours while the whole back section of 20 chairs was totally empty. Read that again - 20 empty machines with techs standing around. Seriously? It's very obvious there is zero concern for your time here

This is a great place to go. Staff is very friendly and fast. The new system they have now is the best, wait time is a minimum. The staff know me when I walk in. I would suggest this place to anybody that likes to help save lives!

I really like that this place is open 7 days a week. Most of the employees were funny with good conversations. This was my first time donating and the experience was fine. Help save someone's life by donating. If you have nothing to do today, tomorrow or the next day then come save a life please.

This is the best lab in Monroe LA, very fast , not time wasting , pays good, & its great for meeting new people. The staff are best , no attitudes or nothing. Its just a get in there & get out thing.

They are just unprofessional they left the needle in my arm for over and hour and it was high pressure and my arm swelling need better staff

Yesterday we arrived at 1:15 they said they weren't taking anymore people bc they closed at 3 but to come back tomorrow...So 15 mins out and I to let them know we'd be arriving they said the nurse had an emergency situation which they can't control .. I really believe they aren't telling the truth and just like I'm trying to give money for plasma their people out there really needing it..If they don't want to do their job that's important to others then they should find another place to work bc this is una

The staff is very polite, and they treat you with respect an I always feel welcome. I would recommend any one to come enjoy the experience and also get a chance to save lives.

Have been coming here for some time now and the Staff is one of the most unprofessional group of employees. The ones at the front can't even do a simple finger stick correctly. When something is said to them they get an attitude.

We have updated the staff along with the facility, so if it's been a while since you have been here come on by. We have added many employees in all positions and have decreased the wait time to an average of 90 minutes on most of the days. If you ever have any issues, don't hesitate to ask for me. Thanks, Sean

I love that they updated the place, it looks really good. I wish the phlebotomist were a bit more professional. The newer girls seem professional but there are two girls who have been there for a very long time and they act very unprofessional and impatient with the donors. One is Pam I don't know the other one but I think management needs to speak to them about the way they treat the donors and also their fellow workers too. Update the staff along with the building management!

Great place! I've given 4 times now and they are always nice and the place is comfortable and clean. It feels good to be helping people. I would recommend this place.

Rudest ppl I have ever met very unprofessional.. and Noone seems to know what's going on when you ask questions... different answer from every employee and they get attutude like youre bothering them . Even the manager is rude when you try to complain and threatens to defer if you want to push the complaint. Needs new management and professional training for all employees

I've been coming here for 6 months regularly as I miss a day my days change to later in the week. When I ask if I could change my days back to sometime earlier in the week I was I had to skip a week. That doesn't make since but that's exactly what I'm doing.

HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL... staff speaks to donors as if they are all just bums. I JUST overheard them tell a guy pump faster, you probably dont have a home but we're trying to go home. Not one person has on a name tag so I dont have her name but any real investigation into this besides and auto generated message would be nice. I will also be going to your website to submit on the contact us.... as well as reaching out to the proper officials to regarding the lack of rules being enforced

I have been coming here for a few months now amd the staff is super friendly and very helpfull and the wait times are minimal i look forward to my every visit

I like coming to here to donate because of some of the workers professionalism and work ethic. Now at times it can get really slow.ugh...all and all this provide a way for extra cash or needed cash. Thanks Talecris staff for yall hard work and dedication

I started doing this to pay my car insurance. Now I look forward to seeing the staff, they become like extended family. Plus knowing I can be saving a life somewhere in the world is unbelievable.

I've been donating for a few years now, have had the days that weren't as good as the rest but that's life. Everyone here is respectful even when being fussed at. I have had nothing but good experiences at Talecris.

My experiences have always been pleasant. The workers are friendly and they get you in and out depending on blood flow. I won't don't anywhere else!!!!!! They also show good movies to keep you at ease!!!

They told me that I couldn't give plamas do a lie they told me and I well every go to this center again in my life and the front is so bad and they well make u say something to them you don't want to say. They would put fork before you they know and you be sitting there 2 hours before them and they would tell they call your name you must been outside when call you. And you know they haven't call your name because you been sitting there hold time and they will tell a lie quick. To y'all didn't go they!!!

I love coming to donate here the staff is very personal and very funny and very professional I really don't need the money but I just like coming to donate and having a little extra it's nothing wrong with having a little extra and also helping save lives at the same time!! Great job!!!

Terrible, Someone sent my new folder off to the warehouse, instead of my old folder. Now I've been waiting almost a month for them to still not have it back at the center. I came there to donate because from what I remembered, they used to be professional and helpful. Now that I'm back after about a year, I see everything has changed. I think I'd rather go back to Octapharma on Louisville and get paid less for my donation, just so I know that Things will be handled in a professional manner.

This is the best place to stay in lines and people only is the best way to Savers a like to give and give respect to donor and and staff members but that do a great job in their work and support plus it's pay off but giving blessings too people's in the the world. so if you know that I know Save a Life and give another life to save better peoples in the world is best to save other people in the world but I love saving a life every chance I get so god blessed the world?

I'm never here long. Everybody is always nice and respectful. Great company with great employees. Feels good to know I'm saving lives when donating.

Fast, Friendly and Profitable. Extra money that only takes a few hrs twice a week. Having a child that required blood products and tons of medicines, I understand the importance of healthy people that donate plasma.

I have been going to This plasma center for years now, they have always taken very good care of me. They have tons of opportunity to make extra money. Talcries has a well trained staff and everyone here is friendly. Fastest plasma lab around and Clean building they have also done some remodeling and it looks great! All in all I will continue to donate here and hope others will to!

Great place to donate! I have always had a good experience...and working on the inside I can say Monroe does great things. You can guarantee a clean and safe experienc..

I called the grifols company and it says your first visit should be no more than 2 hours. This is my 3rd day coming here as a new donor and I have waited for over 6 hours each day and still have made no progress. They need someone specifically for new donors because they literally just take their time and do it when they feel like it. This is ridiculous.

Wonderful experience here. The staff is awesome. The facility is always clean. Thanks for all you do to help people!!

When I went to donate for the first time they was respectful they did things by the book they was real professional with work I would go a second time... It good that you know you can help somebody else...Your blessings coming.

Very friendly, clean atmosphere. I have been coming here for a few years. Constantly making changes to be the best for their donors. Thank you for saving lives

I have donated here about 10 times now and all i have to say is the screening staff is lousy! Have fun waiting three hours to not even been seen by a phlebotomist. This place needs serious new management because they are lazy. The workers like to stand around and hoot and holler with a select few patients. You can't hear them call your name when you finally get to see one of the women who do the screening process. However, once I've made it to the back with the phlebotomists I've had a great experience. Th

Very nice staff really enjoy coming there and also knowing what I'm doing is making a difference oh and btw my name is Shelley Scott

I've been going here for a while and I'm always satisfied with the experience and I hate needles, but the quality of the workers give you comfort... Plus that change you got coming ??

It's the worst place ever to donate at. I've donated there three times these past few months. They're so unprofessional. Very rude and disrespectful to their donators. Well except their friends. If they know you youre in fast and out fast. When my husband went to donate the first time they forgot about him. We asked the lady what happened and when she came back her reply was they skipped over his name so come back tomorrow. I was so offended and upset I sat there and demanded them to see him. Especially sin

I love going to give plasma as Grifols on desiard! Some of the staff has become like family to me because I see them more than my own family, haha! They are so compassionate and caring and funny. I have been going to give plasma here for over a year now and I have zero regrets!

Amazing amazing wonderful place. They go above and beyond to make sure your comfortable and there friendly always answer every question I may have...I recommend everyone I can to them

I really enjoy going to Talecris Plasma. First of all the staff are awesome. They really take care of you when needed. I like the idea of getting money but most importantly is knowing that it is helping others that needs it the most. For the Covid-19, medicine and whatever else. Thank you everyone for all your help. ??????????

I love the experience I get with everyone I come in contact with never had a bad experience at all and I love privacy they give over my information keep up the good work I recommend whoever to visit and come on by

Everyone is friendly and it has such a welcoming atmosphere. Very fast paced. You get in and you get out. Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff! Donation process is painless and fast. I love this center!They always show their donors appreciation by giving bonuses.

Every time I visit the staff are extremely friendly. Their smiling faces always enhances my experience.

I have been a donor at Grifols Talecris Plasma Center off and on for years. I absolutely love the staff, their processes and the facility itself. If there is anyone interested in donating plasma my personal suggestion is Talecris for sure!!!... ????????

I just love coming here. The staff are respectful and professional it's no judgment and you're saving a life!

I love coming here the worker are very professional. They get you in and out really fast! Very thankful for Talecris Plasma

A great place to go if you need some extra cash AND love to help save lives at the same time. Talecris Plasma center aka GRIFOLS Plasma center in Monroe right by the college is a great company with great employees, especially like the ones like my boy ERIC, ONE of the managers managers there. Great guy, respectful and professional. They STRIVE to keep a clean environment and to strictly adhere to HIPAA regulations.

I like Talecris Plasma. They get u n & out. Gab, The staff is super friendly. The process from start to finish is done in a timely manner no long lines. They pay is put on a card which is a good form of payment and it is also done in a timely manner. I recommend anyone to try it. If you need a little cash in your pocket to hold you over til payday this is the place to try.

Been going for a few months the staff is great workers are dedicated and the money is easy an fast thanks Grifols.

I been coming here for 9 years I been loving this money and good people that work here it's has been great ??

They need to know how to answer the phone especially when a customer needs emergency answers!!! I donated over an hour ago and still have not been paid!!

The staff is amazing and they do their jobs very well and professional and they allow me to have the most comfortable visit they can give. Thank you

I wish I would have been coming here. I almost gave up donating. It would hurt so bad when I got stuck. Here you don't even know you were stuck. I will definitely return. And the pay ain't bad either

I would not recommend this place I was banned from giving said I was abusive to staff an I literally did nothing wrong , all I ask is why I can't give an it was because they had stuck my arm wrong an I bleed an made a bruise the size of a softball

Been donating plasma here for few months now, they have a very friendly staff, usually a quick process, clean building and well managed. Will continue to donate with Talecris! I would recommend anyone looking into donateing to come here!!

I enjoy coming here and making the extra cash that's much needed and the people that work here are very nice!

The staff are friendly and professional and make the donating experience as painless as possible. Great service!

Friendly Staff, clean environment, easy check in with short waiting for previous donors. If You're stuck, in need of a few bucks, come donate and get paid to save a life.

This the best experience I ever had I love this place there clean n the workers are so nice

They are quick , fast , and value your needs , all the staff are welcoming and friendly . Highly recommend

Gade and Ms Pamela and neysha Howard and Ty Honeycutt and deshawn and quan and ke are very good stickers and I think they deserve a raise or something good did for them

The donation process is great, but they don't answer phone calls. I keep calling, but I've never gotten an answer. I've had to make extra trips to the center just to ask a question.

The staff is excellent especially Mr.Craig. This was my first time donating, but this will surely not be my last. Pleased with my experience.

Great staff very attentive and fun to conversate with. Haven't had a bad experience yet highly recommend

THEYRE VERY GOOD PEOPLE AND A VERY NICE PLACE.. THEY DO CHRISTMAS BONUS AND ETC AND HAVE VERY NICE TREATS.. VERY RESPECTFUL HAVE THE WHEEL OF MONEY AND THATS ALSO GIVES U BONUS OF MORE CASH ??????

It's a place to donate & received $$$ and also to help save ppls lives. I love doing this because it keeps you trying to save lives and you receive money in the end for it even if I donate twice a week and up to 8 times a month. All we gotta do is just stay healthy and get a goodnight rest.

I love the workers at talecris they make you feel comfortable while waiting and the money is always good .

Great place to donate, fun atmosphere, helpful staff and as long as you beat the rush you'll be in and out in a couple hours

They are very nice, and they move very quickly so u will not be waiting, it's a quick and easy way to earn extra money.

How can you donate plasma quickly?

Donating plasma can get busy with donors and long waiting times. To donate plasma faster, choose a plasma center that allows you to book an appointment online and take your health screening questionnaire remotely from home. Additionally, call your local plasma center and ask for the least busy days and times of the week.
