Great Way to Break into the Surgical/Medical field - Per Diem Eye Recovery Technician Lions World Vision Institute Employee Review

Pros

Base pay per hour plus pay per case (so Seattle minimum wage hourly plus starting wage of $100 per recovery case). Ending pay is typically around $40ish per hour. I would recommend this job as a temporary job for someone looking to improve their medical school/nursing school application. Because of the cons, unless you're looking to run the department one day, it's not a realistic long-term career without compromising your quality of life.

Cons

Inconsistent working hours. You may get 0 cases one day, you may end up with 6 cases and a 20-hour shift another day. May get dispatched on cases that logistically don't make sense, the burden is on you to complete your cases. Example: you may get dispatched to complete a case in Ocean Shores, Portland, and Bellingham in the same shift. Only 1 person is staffed per region at a time, you're running a one-woman/man show. Can travel as far as 6 hours one way to a case- alone, night or day, rain, sleet, or shine. All work is done solo in morgues, funeral homes, and medical examiner's offices across the region, 24/7. No health insurance despite working gruesome cases with decedents.

Pros

This is the best work environment I’ve ever had hands down. Management is thoughtful and competent. Most people are super driven and caring, which makes a big difference in the day to day environment. One thing they do well is promote from within and really focus on doing the most good for those who need transplants. To me, the top highlight is the people you get to work with. Their hearts are in the right place and there’s a lot of support between coworkers. The PTO and benefits are good and pay has gone up recently. It’s also a very inclusive organization and very LGBT friendly.

Cons

Like many places, there are some slow periods as well as more intense times crunch times.

Pros

Great team environment with coworkers who genuinely support one another. The mission behind the work makes the job feel meaningful and rewarding, especially knowing the impact it has on others

Cons

Like many fast-paced organizations, communication gaps and inconsistent follow-through can occasionally impact morale. Middle management works hard to support staff but can sometimes appear caught between employee needs and top-down expectations that may not always align with the day-to-day realities and challenges teams experience

Thank you for the feedback and sharing your experience. We always appreciate hearing our teammates’ perspectives to see how we can improve and continue to operate with excellence. We heard similar feedback in the most recent annual employee engagement survey. Leadership has implemented changes from these results and is reviewing other potential changes.
