Pros

You will be working with an extremely passionate group and wonderful volunteers. The events are really fun and meaningful. There are some great wins to celebrate around survivorship, research and fundraising

Cons

The pay for the industry is generally low. There is a LOT of turnover. The national office is a mess and administration overall is very poor. I have been here going on 4 years now and there has never been a smooth or clear direction for staff training, promotion, or the campaigns in general.

Pros

No doubt LLS does great work providing resources and care to blood cancer patients, and funding invaluable research.

Cons

I took a $20k pay cut over my last job (also in the development field) when I came to LLS, and that was after the hiring manager got permission to offer me $10k above the prescribed salary range. The job was extremely high stress with long hours, and my supervisor repeatedly threw her staff "under the bus" in order to save herself. The turnover was extremely high (my entire team quit around the time I did), and management was lacking on the local level.

Pros

The patients and the ability to be compassionate with them.

Cons

Those same patients you have to be compassionate with are the target of the organization preying on their emotional and psychological conditions requesting they raise thousands of dollars. Senior Leadership is superficial, cliquey, in this area, racist and totally blind to the society in the region. The pressure on the employee is too much. 6 reviews in 3mts, The positions are sales positions to meet heavy goals set by the senior managements to incur bonuses. Reviews are one sided. No praise. I actually had the Exec Dir tell me that my work was "sh*t" after securing several big companies in the region in a month. The Directors are daft incompetent and white trash who frown upon people with money. Complaints to national organization fall on def ears. Tons of intimidation. A nightmare.
