Pros

Great coworkers and team players, for the most part.

Cons

Management, giant bullies Management only care about making their numbers. They don't care about how the front line workers deal with work every single day. I have never worked for a company that belittle their employees in a daily basis.

Pros

I feel comfortable in my position because most of the staffs I work around with are incompetent. Meeting interesting donors and share in their reason to donate.

Cons

Unprofessional management that appears to value you but in reality you are just there to fill a number. Any feedback regarding improvements or issues often times just goes into a loop where it eventually disappears. Turn over for frontline staffs are extremely high. Most leave within a few months because compensation is well below market rate and scheduling is beyond unreasonable. Vitalant can't even retain staffs around during Covid where job opportunities are scarce elsewhere. Imagine if it was normal time. Most of staff I spoke to before they left, mentioned this a sweat shop disguise as blood banking. Unless your career is at the tail end of the it's life and you want a job to ease into retirement, you really should rethink your decision to working here. They hide behind their propaganda of saying we are here to save lives, when what they really meant is you are working on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
