American Red Cross

Is this your company?

Varied experiences over 15 years, but overall negative due to utter disregard for employees' input. - Anonymous employee American Red Cross Employee Review

Pros

It looks good on a resume. It feels good to know you are helping others. You get to work with many other wonderful people who are basically humanitarians at heart.

Cons

Management is 100% inflexible. There is a very strong "Good Ole' Boys (mostly gals) network which protects itself, and harasses people who question them or defend themselves against them. The Human Resources Department exists solely for the protection of the organization and is mean spirited, ruthless and dishonest to the employees. Even if you have had excellent job performance and multiple promotions, questioning the wrong person or the wrong policy will set you on a course which will in one way or another cause your employment to end. These are not nice people.

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.
