Pros

Salary is ok (though way below average industry standards), the field is interesting, interesting collaboration with colleagues at an international level.

Cons

Lack of structure, objectives and guidance at large (at least in some departments), employees are treated as if we're in the 80's (no real work life balance or care accorded to employees and their needs and motivation), hierarchy and power play, close to zero career opportunities and way to evolve at a professional level.

Pros

- Work is too easy and this can also be a con

Cons

- Management are numbers driven. meaning they only care about the volume of donors verse the satisfaction of their works. Staff are sent home early often if you are not needed. - Schedule 1 week in advance which makes it difficult for people to plan their lives ahead of time. - If youre a nurse, and care for patients this is not the place for you. your documentation is governed by auditors without medical training. - repetitive and mundane. - shifts are 7.5 hours to avoid overtime. -high turn over rate due to cut hours. (staff shortage and no incentives for retention) - no upward mobility -benefits are not comparable to other facilities
