Pros

LLS does amazing work in advocacy, research, education, patient resources, and community fundraising events. It has been inspiring to see that the work we do and its direct impact towards fighting blood cancers. The volunteers are inspiring and wonderful to work with. We receive a fair amount of time off and a flexible work from home schedule is appreciated. I truly appreciate the focus on diversity, equity and inclusion.

Cons

The organization is incredibly short staffed and field staff I know in several regions are burnt out and looking outside of the organization for other opportunities. Many of us do not feel supported in our overwhelming workloads - WE NEED MORE STAFF. There is a definite disconnect between leadership and local field staff. We have lost several employees due to so many restructures, crazy workloads during campaign season, low pay, and low morale. After several years with the organization, I am also resigning because I am burnt out and do not foresee anything changing anytime soon. I am very sad to leave, and I hope LLS can make some major changes to their org structure, pay scale, and number of people they employ.

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.
