Pros

Fantastic mission, great volunteers, wonderful opportunity to interact with other non-profits to deliver services to those in need.

Cons

Continual changes in policy and procedure, hiring new paid staff that have no idea what they are doing, poor management at the national level, always a reason why they can't take care of their paid staff but yet seem to find money to do their own little pet projects. Low pay, not compensated in any way for working 24/7.

Pros

My experience working with the Red Cross has been great. The work is fulfilling and the people are passionate. Benefits are good - Kaiser is $6 a month!

Cons

There is work life balance, but there is an expectation to work nights and weekends.

Pros

Flexible remote hours, supportive team that treats volunteers as contributors rather than interns, and a low-pressure environment

Cons

Tooling is limited compared to corporate environments — primarily Excel-driven, so you won't get exposure to modern BI stacks (Power BI, Tableau, Snowflake) unless you bring them in yourself. Data sources are inconsistent (legacy .xls files, manual exports requiring conversion), so expect clean-up work.
