Pros

Some very nice people but don’t count the executives as part of that group.

Cons

Terrible PTO, crappy benefits, lousy 401k match. As for Leadership: steer clear of them. They’re not who they appear to be. Sneaky, conniving, and will get rid of anyone that sees through their lies. Poor budgeting has led to layoffs and they let go of some really great people but kept the absolute crap, bottom of the barrel employees. Too many overpaid employees who don’t do half the work that others do but get paid double. Make that make sense.

Pros

The New York Blood Center has an important and meaningful mission, and I was proud to contribute to work that makes a real difference in people’s lives.

Cons

Unfortunately, my experience was impacted by unprofessional behavior from certain managers and a noticeable culture of favoritism. This made it challenging to feel supported and valued as an employee. With stronger, more equitable leadership, NYBC could be an exceptional workplace.
