Pros

There was a variety of tasks to be done between volunteer management, dental program management, case management...

Cons

Some employees seemed to favor some volunteer sources more than others. Management in the area seemed a little stressed and scrambling which affected the overall culture. this was also during COVID so need to take with a grain of salt

Pros

salaried job; hybrid work environment; if you build volunteer capacity, you can delegate lots of your work

Cons

must take on call some nights and weekends; capped at a 3% raise each year based on performance; works primarily with volunteers so workforce can be inconsistent

Pros

Nice to work in a different place each day and help donors give the gift of wellness...sometimes life to recipients.

Cons

Alot. Poor working conditions and management. Cliques and bullying allowed. Different trainers with different rules/guidelines everyday, inconsistencies. Zero work/life balance, run short staffed, so more work for those reporting to work. Heavy work loading & unloading trucks each shift and setting up & breaking down the entire mobile clinic each day. Enjoy lunch at 10 am so they don't have to give you a 30 min break during the blood drive. Alot of time in the car.
