Pros

You can get paid well, but that is only because they work you 60+ hours a week. There is no work/life balance.

Cons

They don't care about their employees at all. They blatantly tell you they expect you to drive to work in snow, ice, any dangerous weather or it will be counted against you. They don't care if you are out sick or injured, any absence will be counted against you. I was sometimes scheduled to meet onsite for drives and was unable to clock in/out because the app is not on all of the computers on the buses, so I messaged my manager my hours just like I was instructed to and they counted it against me as events, which add up and result in termination. I was out sick with confirmed covid, which I provided them documentation of and they counted it against me as an event. They pretend to care about donors, but pressure their staff to come to work sick because if you miss due to illness you get events. There is zero work life balance with the job, many weeks you work over 60 hours. They don’t give you your schedule for the following week until 2 days before that new week starts and you are never scheduled to have weekends off. Most weeks I worked 6 days a week. They hire you to be stationed out of a specific brick and mortar location and then expect you to drive much further to other locations many days, which they don’t disclose to you before hiring you. They don’t generally approve PTO requests for any reason at all, so even if you submit time off months in advance you are lucky to get it. Many shifts are 12-14 hours and they expect you to come in early the next day for the following shift with very little sleep. The job is physically and emotionally unhealthy. I have never worked for a company that treats their employees so badly. They are constantly understaffed because of how they treat their people.

Pros

Everyone was really nice to work with

Cons

the turn around rate was high because they don’t train you much, then you have to take on extra work. They expect you to do everything within 40 when you have a million things to do because no overtime.
