Pros

A very small amount of good employees who can turn into lifelong friends. The mission and aspect of the job is amazing but the company it’s self only cares about number. Not the mental or physical health of employees

Cons

“It’s not our fault you decided to have kids”. A quote by a former vitalant manager. I know this is in the past but is still the attitude the directors/management/recruitment all have. They will call you a few hours before you clock in while you are still in a slumber to tell you to come pick up the bus earlier then they had scheduled you. Oh and if you say you can’t get ready for a massive amount of attitude or a guilt trip of the century. This companies standards are not based on how your work performance is, cuz you and everybody else and their moms will get an annual 2.5% raise. Perfect for all your hard work right?? All the overtime you work on a consistent basis. But those who don’t perform to the expectations still walk away with the same exact raise as you, the hard working employee. If you’ve never seen FMLA being used, this company has roughly 60-80% of the staff on it. Some for other medical conditions but a lot for depression and anxiety and stress that the company places on their shoulders. When the director decides to make a new work policy (use Facebook as a form of identification for the donors) the director will not own up to the falsely given information and put it onto our shoulders. Favoritism is key here. Kiss booty or don’t expect to get anywhere. And by anywhere there’s only 2 positions you can rise up to. Or 1 cuz the company only wants to promote from outside the company instead of within. Promotions aren’t about how hard you work for it. It’s about the person you hear telling jokes and laughing in managements office is who gets it. Don’t bother speaking at all or you might get under HR investigations. Let’s not forget. ANYONE can get this job. As long as you graduated high school. If you fail training they will still pass you so it doesn’t cost the company money and affect the turnover rate. The company has been going downhill for years, and puts the blame on the mobile staff instead of looking in the mirror and seeing who the true culprit is. At this rate, this company will not be around for much longer. Or look to sell out.

Pros

Mission of organization. Good people and team members. Decent healthcare.

Cons

Everything but the mission. Overall strategy and leadership of the organization is EXTREMELY weak. There is no real donor recruitment plan to attract and retain donors. Marketing strategy needs help. There is no clear vision or roadmap on how to get there. Expectations are high and resources and support are very minimal ( less each day.) The respect for you/your personal/family time is non-existent. The organization does not invest in its programs in order to grow properly. This organization does not live out its “values” nor value it’s employees contribution- and that’s where it all starts.
