Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Everything we both need we should have it
Smart and caring but they have too much to do.
Go away youve had enough of my life
If it wasn’t for the TS I wouldn’t be with the comp
Visionary, bold, strategic, empathic, compassionate
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication without ambiguity, educating the staff on the same level without interpertation of federally regulated documents and accountable where it actually belongs.
Review from Operations Dept
Remove the members of management who band together to decide who they want and do not want in their group. These managers have been doing this for years and know they can lean on each other for support.
Actually caring about the employees out in the trenches everyday. It’s a “Humanitarian” organization as long as you aren’t employed
never see them at all
They need training on how to be a leader
What is the best part about your compensation package?
100% I'm thankful about what I have got
Healthcare probably is the best part.
Health benefits, life benefits, choices
The best benefit is out PTO. It increases with with years of service and tops out at about 8 weeks.
Their vacation days and maternity
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I am a volunteer. I do not even receive compensation for my fuel costs.
Fair market pay for the jobs we do and true work life balance and, true annual cost of living increases. Oh, and bring back the pension fund !
As mentioned before. If you aren’t not in a union they think of you as a number. At least with a union you are guaranteed raise
Raises are small and hard to come by, the pay is not worth the stress
Management does not care. They do not listen.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We all have each other’s back and work great together to collect the blood products everyda
Inclusive, informative, decisive, related to mission
I enjoy the people on my team, they are all nice
Most of my team have many years with the company and are very dedicated to the mission and those we help.
They are reliable and some of them really care about the organization's mission.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Coworkers are not allowed to talk to each other. Employees are to do what they are told even if it is wrong and inturn said employeeS get written up for what managment tells them to do. Communication and being on the same page has proven effective.
Review from Operations Dept
Quit bonding together in tight cliques and talking about other members of the organization behind the person's back. Quit telling lies about people they do not like.
Speak up! They're afraid to say anything. Red Cross will fire you for no reason what-so-ever.
Review from Operations Dept
I'm not sure if there is a way to improve co-worker relations
Review from Operations Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Very good everything is going well
The mission and volunteers willing to give their time to it
Expressing frustration in the comfort of my own home. - Everyone believe they are doing something good.
Review from Operations Dept
Mission-oriented, teamwork driven, individuals accountable
The mission is the most positive motivator.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Localize. Everything is delegated from headquarters. Do not listen to field staff
Why ask these questions? American Red Cross do not care. It's all about the CEO and the higher ups getting their Big salaries and raises. Once the donations starts to go down hill, then the CEO and Staff will finally hear us. Until then, they treat us a low class citizens.
Review from Operations Dept

What makes you most happy at work?
Feeling good an use to have fun with friends
Feeling that i am a small part of saving lives.
My coworkers and knowing that what do do has a positive effect on someone down the line.
Valued by leadership and executives
Sometimes the people we serve are amazing and compassionate
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Stop being greedy and overworking employees stop skimming off the funds and embezzling funds for needy and false reporting and requests for personal not emergency needs you crooks
Stop forcing things on workers and it would be better if it was asked instead of enforcing it on us.
No innovation. Its always business as usual
Again, why ask these questions? They do not care and they won't change a thing.
Review from Operations Dept
The donor isnt always right, sick up for your employees when a donor is in the wrong.
