Pros

Working in the blood collections division of the American Red Cross is beneficial for someone that is trying to get started in the medical field of phlebotomy. It is always fun to go to new places and meet new people everyday. I think it creates good karma: helping people help others.

Cons

Working for a non-for-profit, the salary is awful. Your schedule must be very flexible, as well, with long hours (usually over 10 hours) and overnight stays out of town. There are no blood donation centers in Texas so everyday consists of loading, unloading, setting up an entire mobile blood drive, tearing it down, loading, unloading again.

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.
