      AVOID at all costs.

      Pros

      Because you need money to survive and they have zero hiring/experience requirements. Or you're interested in working in Healthcare and think this will be a foot in the door.

      Cons

      They schedule you "on call" as a part time employee, and expect you to respond immediately, but do not pay you for your time unless you get sent out on a case. At this point your shift may vary from 4 hrs to 16 or more. You will be driving all over Western Washington, alone, and you will work on cadavers alone, at all hours of the night, sometimes in appalling, or downright dangerous environments. There will be no room for advancement, no bonuses for providing them with outstanding tissue quality (each cornea is sold for $900-$5000), and they will break OSHA laws, fully expecting you to not know your rights or put up a fight. They pay lipservice to mental health support, will not provide you with healthcare benefits, and whatever perks they promise (Costco membership, snacks) can be taken away at will without notice. This company gave me CPTSD. Not necessarily from the cadaver work (which is objectively rough, especially with messy coroners cases) but from the dehumanizing, appaling way they treat their employees.

      The role of the Recovery Technician can be taxing, and we are very grateful to our Recovery team that make great contributions to our mission. We purpose to create an environment in which you can thrive, and we are open to hearing feedback as to how we can further improve. Our full-time per diem employees are eligible for our healthcare company plans, which include mental health coverage. Knowing how this environment can affect staff, all employees are offered external EAP resources to help during the difficult times in life. Our pay programs are regularly surveyed to ensure we are compensating fairly. LWVI prioritizes the health and safety of all our employees. We ensure that federal and state safety laws are enforced. Anyone who feels unsafe should reach out to their manager or HR, especially when travelling to external work locations. The HR team is more than happy to discuss any concerns and feedback to improve work experience.

      Disheartening Experience Rife with Unmanageable Expectations and Disregard for Employee Well-being

      Pros

      Remote work is the only pro here.

      Cons

      profound understaffing, the burden of unrealistic goals, brutal hours, managements new age performative art piece called “Empathy”, the impact of compassion fatigue, reversal of certain compensation/benefits, a lack of work-life balance, planning all PTO requests 3 months in advance and an appalling refusal of management to provide support when it is most desperately needed

      LWVI provides support and resources to help our employees succeed. If teams are understaffed, we are working to recruit and train as quickly as possible. We are aware that the hard work to honor donors and recipients can result in compassion fatigue, which is why we prioritize work/life balance and mental health. Please reach out to upper management or HR if you need further support.

      Merger was BAD idea!!!

      Pros

      Co-workers and the Mission is great

      Cons

      New CEO is awful! I know things change with a merger & I'm okay with that, but new CEO is taking away most holidays, % paid into 401K & cost of benefits is going up drastically. Leadership is only worried about making money and could care less about the workers in the field. Pay is awful for what is expected. Merger is destroying what SightLife WAS all about!

      We are glad to hear you have a good experience with LWVI teammates. Any changes from the integration have not been made lightly, but rather for the best of all stakeholders as we aim to be responsible stewards to our donor and recipient communities and a fiscally responsible organization. Due to the merger, we were able to increase the 401k employer match again and conduct a compensation analysis to ensure we are paying competitively within our industry.
