American Red Cross Review

I was contacted by HR for a mobile phlebotomist job in CT. The interview was set up. I had to cancel because I was sick. I emailed them. They guy was out of the office told me to contact Suzie, I did. Suzie got back to me to reschedule near the holiday ( she's told I'm out of town for a few days. I asked her to get back to me if we can reschedule at another time. I never heard back from Suzie or Maurice. Emails where ignored. Kinda rude ( they should've acknowledged to say position is still available or we filled it. ) I'm at the point where I don't know if it's a good idea for me to apply with other jobs with ARC or if I'm just going to waste my time or get a run around.

Beautiful historic building with the highest social agenda

Beautiful historic building and gardens. Red Cross does so much to alleviate suffering. Great job people!!!

A great NGO. They have a wonderful location right next to downtown.

They are doing good work. Make sure to make an appointment cause the wait can be long.

The opposite of love is not hate but indifference Eli Wiesel

Currently the Red Cross has a campaign to equip low income mobile homes with smoke detectors. I called them up - endless transferring me from one person to another.
We have had two fires in our park. So after three days of calling around they tell me that they will give me one MAYBE in more than 40 days since volunteers install them. My offer to pick it up and install it myself was declined. So before you give ask yourself why the CEO makes 500000 USD and the management only 400 000 per year

Great organization with people who care about doing a great job

The location is really very convenient and I usually find 2-hour parking on the street. The facility itself is old but modern on the inside,
in fact very pretty. Staff are very nice. It can get busy sometimes so prepare accordingly. Rapid Pass saves some of that time.

A fine place to give blood. That's about all I use it for...

It's like the head of the Red Cross. Is blood donation thriving in this country?

Love donating blood & platelets here. All of the phlebotomists are super friendly and enjoy joking around. Free parking too!

You can come and donate blood. The parking space is limited, however, it is worth to come early and take a tour

They were quick and they got my blood. What else do you need to know?

I didn't visit that place. Just stop and take photos.

Free tours of the building on Wednsday and Fridays. Beautiful exterior and interior. The American Red Cross has a lot of history worth learning about.

Gentle and kind people attending in the Blood Center and working hard to help people around the world.

Stayed in a "shelter" during hurricane Florence. Slept on a urine-stained floor as Red Cross did not supply beds. They had blankets and pillows that they refused to give out. There was no food. There was no water. There were no supplies to clean ourselves with. Folks had knives and guns in the shelter, were doing drugs and having sex. Bed bugs and other diseases spread throughout and many were so sick they needed to go to the hospital. If I had any involvement whatsoever in this organization I would die from the shame. I have already stopped dozens of people from ever contributing again.
