Pros
-Each day you know you ARE having an impact on your community and saving lives -Great teammates who support one another and have each other's backs -Excellent commission structure, if you are set up for success you can crush your goals and make a lot of money through your bonuses each month (especially for a non-profit job) -Many people will respect your work and you because of your connection to the ARC -Great work/life balance, tremendous PTO program, managers are extremely flexible and understanding
Cons
-So much change and restructuring, you are constantly getting notifications of positions being eliminated, very depressing work environment, sometimes feels hopeless -Industry is in a complete nosedive, blood banking is slowly disappearing, not a great time at all to work in Biomedical -Very little opportunity to move up within the organization, all of the upper management is being moved to a "functional" model with execs leading from afar (no local leadership) -SO many stupid policies and rules that truly make no sense, you will be held accountable for things you have absolutely zero control over, no one seems to know where these come from or how to go about making changes for the better
