Pros

Helping people and the community. Working with people who still love the mission of the organization.

Cons

Understaffed. Always too much work and not enough time. LOW PAY. Paying someone 11.50 an hour with a college education is despicable and abuse. Management does not communicate with anyone. On call 24/7 with no compensation or assistance. No investment in training workers. Bad environment and majority of workforce is dissatisfied with their jobs.

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.
