Pros

401K, health insurance, PTO, great co-workers,

Cons

No paid sick pay, even though it is the law in CA. Work days are barely staffed, with no time to take breaks or lunches (class action lawsuits), while management is very top-heavy. Upper management is all talk when it comes to creating a great working environment- it’s “more donors, less staff”. Either they are so out of touch, or they plainly do not care. The donors are unhappy. Our donor base is only a fraction of what it was before this company took over our blood center. The staff is unhappy. The company has lost so many talented long-term employees, and turnover is high. Many new staff are here only to get experience, and then move on to a higher paying job where they are respected.

Pros

Excellent core cause; great benefits for employees, too.

Cons

The work culture was not great when I was there; lots of pressure regarding stats and performance. Also, non-business-related ideologies were pushed/supported. I was very uncomfortable with that. Downtime and repetitive work made the job boring and monotonous at the center.
