Business Outlook
Pros
The mission is great -- collecting blood to be used to help ill or injured people is noble. Preparing for and responding to disasters, locally and nationally, is necessary and provides a lot of joy and satisfaction to people who really need the assistance.
Cons
The Human Resources leadership at the national headquarters is poor. The SVP is a lawyer who has no prior direct HR experience and the VP for Biomedical Services HR is a former Training and Education/OD consultant with no other HR experience. Between the two of them, HR is in chaos. Employee morale is low, turnover is high and employee recognition and work life balance is bad.
