Pros

Your co workers, other than that nothing!

Cons

The company/mngt does not care about employees, sponsors or donors. You are expected to bully and harrass people to give blood, it's embarrassing how low you are expected to stoop. Goals are unrealistic and unachievable, mngt is out of touch with reality and how much the world has changed. Employees are provided with the tools and support needed. Plan to be written up even when you encounter obstacles out of your control. Mngt uses humiliation tactics and micro manages to the point of demotivating and running off great employees. Discrimination and favortism is thrown in your face. Mngt has no clue how to lead a team. You will never look at the red cross the same way.

Pros

- decent health insurance - helping people feels good. - depending on your chapter you can get good, flexible time - some volunteers are legit saints

Cons

- everyone on the inside doesn’t think things will meaningfully change, it’s systemic. - leadership is often out of touch in expectations and demands, while provide verbal support (at best), chronic understaffing, and focusing on what looks good (to media, PR, etc.). - turnover is extreme - on call is 24/7, volunteer capacity is dwindling especially in rural areas, we have to fill in the gaps, as a result you will be trapped in your area and cannot be good at your actual job. - the non-saint volunteers will treat you horribly, god forbid if you are a woman in this position, there’s a de-facto no firing policy on volunteers - pay is so bad is borders on funny, they gave me a raise this year for ‘merit,’ it was $750…for the year. My boss even laughed when telling me. - it’s a culture of management not leadership, so do not expect either honesty or accountability
