Pros

The mission of organ and tissue donation is about the only pro of working at We Are Sharing Hope SC. This organization, along with most other similar organizations, has seen an increase in donors which does result in more lives saved. That is rewarding, but the work environment at WASHSC almost negates that wonderful "pro" of working in donation.

Cons

The organization received new "leadership" in 2017 and since then staff has been a revolving door through most departments. The new CEO arrived with an agenda to make changes. Some changes made were necessary and needed. Rather than build on the foundation built by the previous CEO, he decided to disrupt and destroy that foundation and start over with no real plan. Leadership from the CEO down through his remaining "yes men/women" managers is a joke. These managers show favoritism which contributes to the poor morale. Many employees just don't trust the CEO or his leadership team, with good reason. It is so bad that over the last year, even a few of his cronies have abruptly abandoned ship. The problems are expansive ranging from poor morale to constant staff shortages resulting in an over reliance on clinical "travellers". These "travelers" are expensive and some have been detrimental to hospital relationships. As others have also stated, there have also been legal issues since the new CEO took over. Leadership's main focus over the past few years has been to build an extravagant office building. The PR Team is used to try to "blow smoke" by claiming the building is for "the people " of SC. That is a bad joke.

Thank you for this feedback. We are incredibly proud of the work we are doing here and the progress we have made as an organization. We continue to strive to improve to better serve the people of South Carolina. We know that change is hard and that it requires thinking differently but it is important that we continue to evolve. The new building is part of that change and we have invested a lot of time, love, and thought to develop a place that is not only a space to work, but a space for our community, our volunteers, our colleagues and those we serve. The building in not who we are but where our community can come to celebrate the donation gift. Regarding your concerns pertaining to leadership, it is always a goal to effectively improve our internal communication with open dialogue and transparency. It is not always perfect but we are committed and constantly evaluating where we can improve as an organization. We are proud of the work our leaders are doing and the guidance and support they provide to our staff. We have definitely experienced staff shortages, like many other companies. However, we do work hard to inform staff of career trajectory and are excited to be growing the organization with people that are passionate about donation and growing our mission in South Carolina. Thank you for your service and please let me know if you’d like to speak further.

Pros

The field staff are wonderful. Working with them is an absolute treat.

Cons

The management is so out of touch. They do not care about employees or patients. They’re completely focused on numbers and have no issue overworking staff, cutting corners, ruining families lives, and pursuing patients with no donation pathway. They’re trying have no compassion for others and are only out to save their job. The upper management only surround themselves with Yes Men and fire anyone who questions their decisions or pushes back. You will be scared for your job constantly and be put in uncomfortable situations that cause you to advocate for yourself and basic human dignity of your patients. On top of that- because of the bad decisions management makes, we have burned about every relationship with the hospitals in the state of SC. Most hospitals absolutely hate working with us. Nursing staff is rude and will kick you off the unit and you’ll get a lot of pushback from physicians to do anything donations related.
