      Great mission, but old guard needs to leave

      Pros

      The best reason to work at the Red Cross is the sense of satisfaction that you get knowing that you - in some small way - helped to improve someone else's life.

      Cons

      Like most large non-profits, it suffers from intense bureaucracy that is perpetuated by an "old guard" middle- and upper-management. Most of these directors / managers are ill-equipped to innovate and change business practices largely because of poor emphasis on professional development. Additionally, those that do seek to innovate and change quickly leave - either because of the organizational conflict they stir up or out of frustration.
