Pros

Meeting new generous people everyday who want to help save lives. Working somewhere different everyday. The pay is great. Knowing I'm helping to save lives.

Cons

Very physical and hard labor loading and unloading trucks for blood drives. Many tech end up with work related injuries. Horrible, horrible management. Always feel scrutinized and not appreciated. High turn over rated due to work conditions and bad management.

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
