Pros

Honestly, there is not one positive thing that I can say about this company. My coworkers are absolutely amazing, but the company is a nightmare!

Cons

Everything is so completely backwards with this company. They make policies and procedures, but ask that you break these rules as soon as no one is watching so that you may work more efficiently. There is no room for advancement within the company, though after a short period of time you will have no desire to. The pay is decent hourly, but as a full time employee, I'm averaging 3 days a week, the rest being on call so I can not make plans with my family. The hours keep you from having any sort of normal life--one day you may have to get up at 1:30 AM and the next you may not get home until 11 at night. If you need an early or late day to schedule appointments, forget it. The only way to guaranteed to be off for said appointments, is to call out or request leave through FMLA. For a company that prides themselves on helping others, they have absolutely no respect for their own.

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.
