American Red Cross reviews

If you didn't kiss up to female management in office you won't make it far. You also have to be heterosexual

Several, but first and foremost is the awful pay (even for a nonprofit) for a position that requires a college level education. Simply put: there is no way that someone can afford living in an area like DC for $33K a year without supplementing income with a second or third part time job (which is basically what every lab tech had to do). Second: The lab work is incredibly mundane and isn't even real science, you will likely get burned out after 4 months and start looking for new jobs. Third: Conditions in the lab are a complete mess and lack basic organization. You will understand immediately why this company is under a consent decree by the FDA. Finally, the lack of advancement in career. Regardless of how well you do your job, you probably wont be getting a promotion unless you work for x amount of years, which is already terrible considering how low the salaries are.
