Pros
The negativity the last year and a half has overshadowed anything good to say about what is now Versiti.
Cons
Money is the greedy driving force of Versiti executive leadership with disregard to realistic expectations of collections goals and the industry in general. The CEO didn’t even know when one state was critically low on blood! They have failed in learning the industry from the bottom up and therefore set unrealistic expectations and provide zero resources to even attempt to half way meet goals. There is no culture and the work environment has become very toxic due to the lack of respect of employees making suggestions or having opinions different from their own. There are successes and very knowledgeable team members outside of Wisconsin (HQ), but the ELC doesn’t want to hear or acknowledge anyone outside of their tiny Wisconsin bubble. What’s worse is that they have stolen the community feel away from organizations that have prided themselves on being the security of the community blood supply. Indiana Blood Center used to be an amazing place to work, driving its mission, goals and values first with its employees and then to the community. It is clear now that every day walking in to work employees are unhappy, stressed and miserable because of Versiti. Versiti has taken away everything from Indiana Blood Center- pride of its employees, dedication to the community and the most disheartening thing, the high disregard of the reason why we do what we do every day all for the sake of ELC giving themselves bonuses.
