Pros

You do not have to leave your house , having a good team (not to be confused with good management)

Cons

Everything else … genuinely everything else. You will never have piece of mind again working for this company. You are a number and a means of meeting a quota. Yes, after working you like a dog for 12 hours straight, if you are even remotely falling short; they will be there to remind you. Meanwhile, management is asleep in their beds ignoring your cries for help if you’re overnight, or blatantly ignoring you during the day. And don’t you dare try to have a peaceful day off because you will be bombarded every single day with multiple text asking if you can log on for yet another short staffed shift for a measly $100-$200. Why so short staffed you ask? 99 percent of the time, we were physically ill, mentally/emotionally exhausted and/or straight overworked. To add insult to injury, they dragged on this chat of giving us raises for months, only to come back and give us nothing. Always “we need more donors” with the promise that if we did more work, we would for sure be rewarded. Watching veterans walk out after years of proudly and passionately talking about this company should have definitely alerted us to our future. Management refusing to acknowledge anyone who quit that didn’t share their gratitude for their experience. Pointless meetings constantly asking us for our opinion just to continue doing the same exact thing they were doing before. If you value job flexibility, growth, time freedom, good management or annual raises; I suggest that you make a quick exit and find somewhere else to apply. Literally anywhere else would be a better choice. I couldn’t put less than one star.

We acknowledge current staffing volumes and how it is affecting current employees. It is one of leadership's top priorities to address. Our management team actively works on the floor with first-line staff in an effort to be united. The feedback regarding compensation resulted in a third-party compensation analysis and we updated our pay scales to be in market within our industry. We are saddened to hear about your experience, but we are actively working towards a better balance with action taken daily and appreciate your patience during this time. You or anyone else with concerns is encouraged to reach out to the HR team for further conversation.

Pros

Remote. That’s quite literally it.

Cons

Where to start.. This company has been picked apart by poor management and even worse decisions. Gutted benefits, gutted wages, forced overtime. Team members are treated like robots and management refers to donor families s customers. They force team members to recover on individuals without consent from the family and then due to poor staffing issues won’t have the man power to honor those individuals, eventually leading to them throwing away tissue and helping no one. Worse more is these donors families will never know that LWVI recovered and that the tissue was discarded. They have completely given up on using tools that are in place to help find potential donors, instead forcing cases they know will go down in hopes they can swindle partners into accepting the case. Their morals and self respect have gone down the drain in the face of increasing donor volume and saving money. They removed management because they “weren’t fulfilling their obligations” yet the director has tip toed around the rules they implemented, changed criteria to fluff numbers, and cut corners whenever they could - quite literally performing the exact same things that they let previous management go for. People are leaving by the droves. Good people. Now they plan on bringing in 3rd party companies to call families with very literal experience in hopes of saving tissue contracts. This company is a sinking ship. You’ll make more money and have less stress working in fast food. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Thank you for the time spent sharing this feedback. LWVI carried out change in the past couple years to our benefits, compensation, and leadership. This is to recognize and prioritize current employees while still being responsible stewards to conduct our mission. LWVI has compared these changes to the market or third-parties where applicable and have found we are within range. LWVI prioritizes and executes compliance in all operations. Former and current employees are welcome to continue the conversation of any concerns with HR.

Pros

It’s remote and that’s about the only pro

Cons

The director is getting rid of incentive which is how many of us made money to pay our bills here, cutting some people’s pay by 20K/year. Furthermore, the director has been reading all of the employees personal messages and HR has been going back on medically excused call-outs and saying that they’re no longer excused (even if you have a doctors note and even if you have a medico condition). There is no benefit to staying long term.

The company revised pay programs to ensure equity to all employees and fiscal responsibility to honor our mission and stakeholders. We were able to conduct a compensation analysis within our industry and ensure all are receiving competitive pay. HR is highly cognizant of medical needs and here to support you. Please reach out if you have any concerns. We understand that many changes have occurred due to merging two long-standing eye banks. All changes are made thoughtfully and with the ultimate goal to honor our mission and donors. Thank you for your patience as we all navigate through the changes. The HR Team is open to discussing any feedback you may have.
