Pros

Staff are like a family. I miss my coworkers so much, they made this job worthwhile.

Cons

Upper management was horrible. Policies that hurt everyone and prevented the goal of the company. Upper management would get angry at us for simple things. For example: getting a $1 smoothie at the smoothie truck at the Gail Singer drive. We worked 16 hours days and they would reprimand us for enjoying a $1 smoothie even if we offered to pay for it because "It's gor the donors not you." That is one example of many. Around the time I was let go the company lost 4 other remarkable employees. I was let go despite having put in my 3 weeks. My significant other also works there ans he got his final ding on his attendance because his car slid off the freeway. They do not give any leniency for callouts ans they do not let you use your sick hours at all (they just sit in your account). If policy was better the turnover rate would be far less. One of my most professional coworkers there wrote a list of all the people who had come and gone in her 2 years working there... the number was somewhere around 20 employees. It has been bad since I left, so I have been told. ARC went from fun chaos to real chaos in the recent months since most of the old crew had left (mostly due to crappy policy and lack of compassion). Employees are people you know ans we don't get paid enough to come in sick or be treated like crap for calling out due to life events. My cousin passed away (23, my age, a sister to me) but because I said he was my cousin and not my sister they couldn't let me have a single day off to mourn.
