Amazing mission and volunteers. Everything else? Not so amazing. - Anonymous employee Blood Cancer United Employee Review

Pros

The mission and volunteers. Some co-workers (on the chapter and national level) actually make you feel like you're part of a "team," working to make a difference. The staff in White Plains (the non-CEO's, Field Managers, etc...) are great to work with (not to mention incredibly under-appreciated).

Cons

Lack of management (on the chapter and national level), lots of extra hours and required attendance at events. If you like the constant feeling of being frazzled and burnt out, then this is the place for you. LLS used to be about teamwork and the mission. Now it's about micromanagement, personal gain and more campaign revenue. There has been a definite culture change at LLS over the years and it hasn't been in a positive direction.

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.
