Pros
-you get paid to travel, if it takes an hour to get to the job site, you get that hour at your pay rate -coworkers can be fun -when it's slow, you get paid to do nothing
Cons
-for a job thats supposed to be non-profit, they sure care a lot about making money -management blatantly just does not care about employees -rules rules rules rules rules -pay is only ok -when it's busy, it feels like a constant dinner rush at a fast food restaurant -rarely does someone compliment you on your hard work, most people (donors, sponsors, management, donor recruitment, everyone) looks at us like gears in a machine. -late ending drive (not home till 10) followed by a start time of 6 AM the next day. -drives are constantly understaffed, goals seem to be set unrealistically -I'm a male, so it rarely effects me, but some coworkers constantly gossip about each other, and go out of their ways to make each others lives miserable. -management tries to get you to work harder by using guilt and fear. -constantly given new "best practices" and "corrective actions" to fix an error rate of literally .001% (a "trend" is when 4 or more "problems" are detected in a couple of months, when we can do as many as 4000 procedures a month) -staff are treated as children, with constant micromanagement, and tons of rules, by management that has absolutely no idea how the process works. - (non-needle/blood bag) equipment is outdated and sometimes downright broken, making the easy part of the job sometimes harder than necessary. -constantly told "you're helping to save lives!" to try and make the work experience seem worth it all, but actions speak louder than words.
