Pros

I loved the people I worked with and my job. I really felt like I was making a difference. Make you feel like a big fish in a small pond. Training is fantastic.

Cons

There are no career advancement opportunities, micromanage, do not utilize their limited budget correctly, do not always hire qualified candidates, high turnover rate, terrible work-life balance (I worked 60 hours/week at least), do not follow FDA guidelines, high pressure environment due to constant budgetary mistakes. Example: they fly employees from Salt Lake City, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada; have them stay at MGM, rent cars, and pay for their food/entertainment ($1,000+ for food and entertainment alone each trip). Entertainment = gambling, shows, etc. They do not report all expenses.

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
