Pros
Good work environment that is engaging.
Cons
You are a part of a larger organization so it can feel like you are insignificant at times.

Pros
The feeling of helping others. There are benefits, but not great if you live in Utah where the company is still not unionized. They will hire you with no experience as a phlebotomist or lab tech.
Cons
There's a good reason why in every other state but Utah, ARC is unionized. The benefits without a union rep are awful, the wages are OK. Management treats you like livestock and couldn't care less about you as a person, they see you as purely expendable. Ridiculously, 'workplace politics' hold more weight than your work, and their training program sets up their workers for failure. Their turnover rate is sickening. If you work there for a year, you will see half the staff quit from how they were treated. Se*ual harassment is not taken seriously, HR doesn't do their jobs, and there is no remediation. Whistle blowing is punished.
