Pros

The ideals of the organization still resonate

Cons

Since Gail McGovern has become CEO, the Red Cross has adopted the AT&T model of management. Decisions are no longer locally based, but decided by a select few who manage to screw things up. We have seen this in response to disaster services (i.e. Hurricane Sandy), Health and Safety, and Blood Services. Now, the employees left are being set up for failure.

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.
