      Pros

      Used to be a good organization.

      Cons

      The organization has been taken over by people with a corporate mindset. Management only in it for the money and not for the mission. Upper management mostly trying to maximize their retirement funds. Account managers are the lowest form of life and often treated with little or no respect. 60, 70 and 80 hours a week not uncommon. Blood drives often under-staffed. Equipment and vehicles need to be replaced or upgraded. Tremendous lack of communication. Upper managedment is often inconsiderate and uncaring. Constant change is the rule. Promises made are seldom kept.. No one willing to stand up for those under them.

      Pros

      Convenient nice office and parking provided. The organization is evaluating all services on a national level to bring consistency across the board.

      Cons

      For a National nonprofit the tools and technology were poor to outdated. Many, many levels of bureaucracy to get anything done. The local office did not seem to have much comradeship and people were distant.
