Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Employer Reviews

Trained me in office etiquette and function. Learned to self-start and exceed standards without supervision or clear-cut guidelines. Allowed me to become well-versed in information systems and administrative duties and protocol.

Similar experience with every other poster here. I'd agree with management having preferences over work quality and would constantly hear about the turnover rate. Pay is decent but IMO, not worth the hassle of poor management.

Everyone friendly and hard working

Worked from 9-5 in a cubical calling schools to make donations to the organization. Registering people for schools on computer, order fulfillment, telephone communication, computer work. Top recruiter for 2 weeks.

Typically there are 1 or 2 people doing the work of 4 or 5. Work very long hours, nights & weekends. Very poor management styles from the top down. For the most part co-workers are good people which makes it tolerable. This company does not value a work/life balance, you will be pre-judged as not being available and it will be held against you.

Cannot believe how accurate the reviews here are! Co-workers are out to get you to save themselves since there is very little (if any) job security. Be ready to compete with the executives favorites to save your job. regardless of how well you do your job, if you're not a favorite, you're not staying.

Learned about fundraising campaign.
Great working environment
Called for in-kind donations

I worked at LLS for just a few months as a temporary employee. I found most of the employees friendly and that contributed to a pleasant work environment. There is very limited employment opportunity, considering it is a non-profit organization.

Excellent opportunity for professional growth. Chapters throughout the US and a few in Canada.

Backstabbing, bullying, unethical, corrupt high level staff, HUGE trunover, low pay and evil. This organization has got to be the worst organization I have ever worked for...just look at the reviews. As Campaign Director I was expected to "manipulate reviews" allowing termination of good employees who happend to be disliked by executive staff.

I volunteered for a month and enjoyed doing so. Helping a great cause.

Throughout the interview process you are told what a great place LLS is to work, how they value work/life balance, creativity, hard work and dedication.
The fact of the matter is this place is a puppet show. If you don't follow the puppet master, reward favorite employees even when they are not performing and buy into the LLS mentality of this is how – more... we've always done it, you're out.
The culture encourages bullying and sabotaging your co-workers to get ahead.
Sixty-plus hours a week are expected and don't admit to having a life outside of work, you'll be punished for it. – less

The management is awful. They are insecure and lack confidence so they aren't open to any ideas that aren't theirs. You don't need to do a good job to get promoted, you just need to suck up to the right people. Turnover is terrible because they don't place any kind of value at all on their employees. I would never recommend for anyone to work there.

Of over 30+ employees in the last 4 years, only 1 or 2 are still available in this chapter. Even the Executive team has been replaced. They do not value employees or talent. Beware!!!

Productive Workplace. Great job, great interaction with staff and management staff. Wished it were a full-time position.

Great team to work with. Job gives a sense of accomplishment, good pay and benefits.
