Good people in the field.
Svantaggi
Let this post be a clue about the fiscal priorities of executive leadership. CEO Prasad Garimella has one of the highest salaries in not only the organ procurement industry, but in all nonprofits in the United States. The public filings for 2024 has his executive salary at $1.1 million, with an additional slary of $139k listed as "other." This is so high, the nonprofit watchdog group Charity Watch keeps a list of all nonprofit CEOs who earn more than $1 million, to ensure the public understands the organizaton's true priorities. Meanwhile, here's an example of the fiscal decision-making affecting the field staff - the heart of the organization's operations. Previously, field staff were entitled a small auto allowance for the many driving miles required for the roles. Now, because of their commitment to fiscal responsibility (see above salary again), OL has eliminated auto allowance and is requiring field coordinators to drive to the closest company office, pick up a company car, and take that to the various hospitals. This eliminates the need to pay employees an auto allowance, since they're only driving their personal car to the local office. This is just one example of the priorities of this organization, who claims to care about people. When Prasad, the CEO, dismisses any income complaints by reminding staff it's about the mission, ask him if having one of the highest executive salaries in all of American nonprofits is his mission. New appplicants be warned.
