Pros

Great health insurance and PTO

Cons

*Union *Pay could be a lot better *Forced OT and often times forced to do a double then come in for your normal shift in the morning. EX I work 7-3:30 and have been forced to do 2nd and stay until 10pm. Then come back at 7am the next day. OR do my normal shift and get forced to do a 3rd and have to come back at 10 and stay until 330pm the next day. *Went for a 15 day stretch with no day off followed by 1 day off and 12 days in a row. With multiple doubles or split shifts. *

Pros

- decent health insurance - helping people feels good. - depending on your chapter you can get good, flexible time - some volunteers are legit saints

Cons

- everyone on the inside doesn’t think things will meaningfully change, it’s systemic. - leadership is often out of touch in expectations and demands, while provide verbal support (at best), chronic understaffing, and focusing on what looks good (to media, PR, etc.). - turnover is extreme - on call is 24/7, volunteer capacity is dwindling especially in rural areas, we have to fill in the gaps, as a result you will be trapped in your area and cannot be good at your actual job. - the non-saint volunteers will treat you horribly, god forbid if you are a woman in this position, there’s a de-facto no firing policy on volunteers - pay is so bad is borders on funny, they gave me a raise this year for ‘merit,’ it was $750…for the year. My boss even laughed when telling me. - it’s a culture of management not leadership, so do not expect either honesty or accountability
