Pros

LLS is an amazingly patient-focused organization who really dives head first into research, programs and services that will benefit cancer patients. It's so humbling working with the patients and providing them opportunities to come back and support the mission. The position itself is very rewarding. The individuals that work in this office will have your back from day 1 and help to ensure everything is a success.

Cons

The communication is very poor. Some departments don't work on site which causes the majority of the issues in work not getting done. This has been brought up numerous times. The organization provides plenty of opportunities to provide your opinion, but nothing ever changes or is fixed. The pay isn't adjusted for cost of living which makes it difficult for someone in a large city. This office needs a HR presence due to some of the leaderships decisions and actions. Most event weeks or weekends are spent working endlessly and comp time is not accounted for.

Pros

Flexible hours (but with the implementation of meeting metrics, poor schedule). Great time off and benefits.

Cons

The mission is inspiring, but employee well-being often feels secondary to organizational demands. Chronic understaffing, high turnover, and frequent organizational changes create an environment where employees are expected to take on responsibilities far beyond their job descriptions. Workloads can become unsustainable, particularly during campaign seasons, leading to burnout and low morale. Goals and budget expectations are often aggressive and may not reflect local market realities or available resources. Employees are held accountable for outcomes that can be heavily influenced by factors outside of their control, while support and staffing do not always keep pace with expectations. Communication and transparency from leadership could be improved. Decisions affecting employees are sometimes made without meaningful input from those doing the day-to-day work, and organizational restructuring can create uncertainty and instability. Many talented and passionate employees leave because they feel overworked, undervalued, and unsupported despite their dedication to the mission. While working at a regional office, there was strong lack of trust towards the national office from all of the employees.
