Pros

Good pay and good benefits.

Cons

They treat you as if you can be easily replaced. No respect for anyone. So much pressure on doing everything right that you cant get anything done. and once you mess up or potentially make them upper management mad then say goodbye to your job. A schedule that is all over the place. One day you would be working and have to get up at like 3 am to go down to price or st george etc. and you are there for 14 hours and then the next day you work is another long day.. or when you have a shift that gets out late at 10 or 11.pm doesnt matter about sleep you have to get up at 3 am again!! surprise.. but then after that they have you scheduled at the donor center which has odd hours and is only like 6 hours of work. For one week. then back on the crazy schedule again!!

Pros

Excellent mission and personal fulfillment. Flexibility. Most of the people are wonderful people to work with. We save lives everyday.

Cons

Too big to make logical, nimble business decisions. When easy fixes are found for issues in the field, there are too many hoops to jump through to get changes made that would make the work easier and more understandable for those performing the front-line jobs.
