American Cancer Society reviews

This is just a follow-up from when I got let go a year ago. Please- I urge you to think twice for accepting a position with ACS. They take advantage of and exploit kind, hard working people. Raising concerns and not having a “yes man” mentality is perceived as a threat. I have long lasting physical and mental trauma from my position. I straight up developed an auto-immune disorder from the amount of stress, hours, and insane workload I had. I have ptsd symptoms from how I was treated and let go, and now go to therapy. My body is still recovering from burn out a year later. I’ve tried voicing my concerns to appropriate parties and community leaders, but I learned that people that have an external appearance of giving and doing good work ultimately don’t care if it’s not for their benefit and if no one is watching 🤷‍♀️ To summarize, working for ACS was like being metaphorically punched in the face everyday and having to say thank you for it.

Management was aware that certain team members were not consistently meeting performance expectations. However, these concerns were not formally addressed until I brought them forward. As a result of the workload imbalance, management had to bring in on-call staff on multiple occasions to assist with catching up on responsibilities. Additionally, there were instances where comments were made that could be perceived as inappropriate or insensitive to others in the workplace. Management sometimes seemed very unaware of things that was occurring right outside of their offices, due to never coming out and mingling with the "commoners". Management would assume and not ask questions. Not a lot of local jobs in the area. Not a lot of work from home staff roles.
