American Red Cross reviews

Low wages, minuscule merit wages, lack of transparency with upper leadership. They cannot hold on to new hires, so they provide new hires with higher wages than seasoned staff to get them in the door. Veteran staff do not feel valued or compensated fairly.

Very labor intensive position. Taking blood is a tiny part of this job. Its a lot of packing supplies, loading them into vans, weighing ice, unpacking at site, setting it up, then comes the blood drives. Lunches were hard to get depending on the manager on duty. Don't expect to have a life with his job, hours are all over the place as blood drives take place at different times. Drive time is also a factor. Sometimes, blood drives would be an hour away, making that a VERY long day to be back in 6 hours for another drive. Coworkers are very immature at this location.
