Fun place but stressful and not managed well

Little direction and lots of hours expected. Very high turnover rate. Some weekends expected with no comp time. However this may just be the way of all nonprofits so...

Pay is awful
Hospital Service Technician (Former Employee) - Mountain Home, AR - January 26, 2023
Work a ridiculous amount of hours for minimum wage. The company does not care about its employees. They were going to leave me stranded 2 hours from home. I had to call my parents to come get me.

Good entry level positions for the medical field
QC Technician (Current Employee) - Cleveland, OH - January 24, 2023
I enjoy the job, but there’s a lot of personalities that congregate here. The rose tinted glasses fade to clear when you start noticing the cliques, favoritism, and supervisors picking and choosing who will abide by company policy. ARC allegedly strives to be an inclusive environment, but only if you fit in with your department. My shift supervisor is awesome and godsend, but the manager of my department is quite expendable. Doesn’t know much about the department, and made it very clear multiple times that he does not train new people. If you can find a hospital job or a private lab to work at, seize that opportunity immediately.
Pros
Coworkers are nice, supportive team, great benefits, good pay
Cons
Clique culture, favoritism, expendable higher ups, toxic environment

Accounting Manager (Former Employee) - Alexandria, VA - January 23, 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? Horrible experience. Hiring manager totally misrepresented the job. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Very low salary. Very political, bureaucratic, and regimented. Inexperienced management directing those with higher education and experience. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Management taking total credit for successes and blaming subordinate scapegoats for failures. No advancement. Total blemish on my CV. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Horrible working conditions in a condenmed building. No air conditioning in summer. No heat in winter. Told there was employee parking for everyone. Only half the employees had parking. Poor morale all around. Lot of back stabbing. Very depressing place.

Stay away
Collections tech (Current Employee) - Richmond, VA - January 23, 2023
Favoritism is not a secret and belittlement is encouraged to each other. If you like working long hours, disrespect, and cliques then join the club they've got jackets. You are subhuman here and you have no voice in what you do here. You are served the garbage they give you each and everyday and better enjoy it because if you call out once even if you have an emergency surgery or emergency elsewhere you are going to get written up and counseled about what you did. Seriously, I urge any prospective employee to look elsewhere as you will not enjoy what comes next for you there if you join.

American Red Cross is like family
Receptionist/Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) - Fort Myers, FL - January 17, 2023
The staff takes you in shows you the ropes asks you what you prefer try and work at and trains you and if there's something else that you want to learn they'll train you on that. They are very good working team all the time.

Good Pay and Poor Work Environment
Phlebotomist (Former Employee) - Plano, TX - January 17, 2023
Great pay, but Management loves to micro-manage and noticeably has favorites. Overall, very simple and very repetitive job. The Hours and days varies.

Don’t do it.
Donor Client Support Specialist (Former Employee) - Charlotte, NC - January 16, 2023
Would not recommend. The work schedules vary and are horrible. The work is very tedious. The system is not updated which causes the work to be extra unnecessary. There are so many training classes because of the high turnover rate.

Do Not Work Here Unless You Like Drama
Hospital Service Technician (Former Employee) - Cleveland, OH - January 13, 2023
This is a horrible place to work. The place is micromanaged and the lead techs and workers are lazy. Whenever you complain about those not pulling their weight, management overlooks it. The hours are horrible. You will work every weekend and the pay sucks. Working here is like being back in high school. Everyone are in cliques and they love to gossip about everyone especially the supervisors and managers. Please Do Not Work here unless you love to be depressed and miserable.
