American Red Cross

Is this your company?

I was proud to say, "I'm going to work at the Red Cross." Not what I expected .... - Anonymous employee American Red Cross Employee Review

Pros

Brand name of the organization and what the mission seemingly is

Cons

People have been here so long that they do not have innovation or energy. My job is not what was discussed during the interviews. In fact, there was a switcheroo after I started which is incredibly unprofessional and speaks to weak organization and communication skills. I resent that my job was handed to somebody with less experience. Though it has a feel good mission statement, it is still your run of the mill corporation. I'd rather go to a corporation and earn more, than put up with this complacency and bureaucracy of a not-for-profit corporation which practices a corporate culture. Anybody notice the demographics of the Board or senior management? I see very few people of color in senior roles. I also see promotions being handed out quickly to caucasians vs. people of color. I've been here a few months and very dissatisfied with my experience.

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.
