Pros

Oh my gosh the mission is amazing. Saving lives by asking families and patients to donate organs at end of life. Most of the people at the company are wonderful and try to do their best. The pay was pretty good with lots of promises for future raises and better schedules. I'm glad I spent time doing this work - even if it was just for awhile. I wish they were a better company who could realize their potential, but I still learned alot.

Cons

As strange as it seems, most of the clinical leadership was very vocal about their support of President Trump. Pictures on the desks of the whole leadership group wearing political tee shirts. (Women for Trump) They discuss it openly and it seems like it's assumed the entire company feels the same. If you agree with them, then you're in good shape, I guess. I was there when this big election happened and I was NOT supportive of Trump getting elected and I was worried that they'd see my Facebook page and I'd be treated differently. I can't prove it - but it's possible they knew I was a democrat and it hurt me. (a colleague told me they once heard a joke made about me being in love with Obama by my Director) Yikes. It felt wildly inappropriate that this political stuff was so openly put out there with no thought that it might be off-putting for staff. Anyway - besides the weird way they're so openly political - the place was pretty good to me. They can't seem to hire or keep good staff, though. And that's why they burn through the good people they do have. (Like me) People seem to be promised the moon and the stars and then none of it comes to fruition. I had 2 great colleagues not make it to the 3 month mark - and the company seems to just think the problem was them...and never take any responsibility on their side. The place has SO MUCH administrative overhead, too. I've never seen so many HR or IT people -for such a small company. I never quite understood. We desperately needed clinical staff but the office staff was massive.

Pros

Very rewarding mission to be a part of. We work to save and enhance lives through organ and tissue donation and see first-hand every day the impact that our organization has on people and families. Extremely rewarding. Management is forward thinking and supportive of new ideas. There is a very strong team vibe here that I like. Benefits are great and there is a ample time off.

Cons

We work hard here and expectations are high for everyone but in the end, it's about saving lives.
