Pros

Donors, incredible individuals who volunteer their time to make a huge impact on someone's life. Meeting the hospital needs! The self gratification of going home after a long day knowing that I make a difference. I am personable, efficient and confidant while following strictly enforced guidelines. I want every donor understand what a "HERO" they are!

Cons

Due to the constant need of the blood supply, the schedules can be challenging. We work early mornings for highschool and business sponsored drives, and still having our community drives that are late afternoon and early evening. Impossible for consistant hours which does not allow or promote higher education.

Pros

The paycheck cashes and you can check out at 5pm.

Cons

Terrible management with little training for them to improve. Confusing reporting structure and divisive relationship between chapters and national. Internal comepetition destroys the morale and disassociates employees from mission work.
