American Cancer Society Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"American Cancer Society is a very good place to work. Very accommodating employees"

"After 5 years, I left because I just was not sure what they really accomplish. The Hope Lodges and Road to Recovery help people. The call center offered good support. But the rest of it is smoke and mirrors. Loads of controlled messaging and image management. Really dig in, and you will be surprised at how little they help locally."
