Pros
The brand of the American Red Cross is the only positive thing about the organization.
Cons
The organization is inefficiently managed and seems to hold onto people who offer little value and are not very smart. With this strategy over the years, the Red Cross is bleeding revenue and was not ready for the competition and the challenges ahead of time. The brand portrays a warm and fuzzy, caring organization, but it is a corporation with a non-profit status. For those unfamiliar with what non-profit means, it just means they do not pay taxes on profit. The RC has laid off people who have spent decades there, just before Christmas. It is as heartless as any other corporation.
