American Red Cross "family," NOT. - Lab Technician American Red Cross Employee Review

Pros

My coworkers are amazing.

Cons

We are seriously underpaid. Upper management has no interest in changing work conditions nor do they have any conscience in closing departments at the drop of a hat. Within a few years they closed both the Detroit call center and the National testing Lab. The news of the call center closing came at a meeting that was supposed to be regarding a new software system. It was TOTALLY unexpected. They didn't even give priority placement in other departments to their current employees. I've NEVER seen ANY company do that. The American Red Cross has a reputation for being compassionate, they are FAR from it.

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.
