Pros

LLS does amazing work in advocacy, research, education, patient resources, and community fundraising events. It has been inspiring to see that the work we do and its direct impact towards fighting blood cancers. The volunteers are inspiring and wonderful to work with. We receive a fair amount of time off and a flexible work from home schedule is appreciated. I truly appreciate the focus on diversity, equity and inclusion.

Cons

The organization is incredibly short staffed and field staff I know in several regions are burnt out and looking outside of the organization for other opportunities. Many of us do not feel supported in our overwhelming workloads - WE NEED MORE STAFF. There is a definite disconnect between leadership and local field staff. We have lost several employees due to so many restructures, crazy workloads during campaign season, low pay, and low morale. After several years with the organization, I am also resigning because I am burnt out and do not foresee anything changing anytime soon. I am very sad to leave, and I hope LLS can make some major changes to their org structure, pay scale, and number of people they employ.

Pros

Tons of training - fairly flexible, autonomous work environment, peers were the best

Cons

ED had a problem with drinking and it was embarrassing! HR absolutely knew and did nothing other than a slap on the hand. The board knew and did nothing. Any HR issues with staff were met with " find some way to work it out" - The payscale is not to scale.
