Pros
You can wear anything you want as long as its long pants and a shirt that doesnt have a cuss word on it.
Cons
Management, supervisors, pay, benefits, union, everyone in other departments and even Management looks down on you like you're the awful stupid good for nothing step child even though your department makes the majority of the revenue for this business. The biomedical/hospital services department is known for being the ones that keeps the lights on for RedCross but has nationally the lowest paid positions in all of RedCross. Disaster relief department, facility service technicians, etc ("the office jobs") have specifically told me that our department makes all the money so they can spend it. They also start at $20,000 more on their base pay than biomedical makes. One mistake accidental or due to carelessness in the biomedical lab could kill a patient, we are open 24/7/365 which means we don't get holidays off, if there's bad weather we are asked to stay on site and sleep in empty rooms so that we "won't miss our shifts", we are also told that if we do miss our shifts due to bad weather it will be a point against us, so keeping our lives out of danger doesnt matter. All of that being said....we gain the most money for the Business "non-profit " and get paid the least and taken advantage of on the daily! DO NOT WORK HERE!
