Pros

This used to be a great organization but over the past 3 years has disintegrated into a shell. VERY top heavy on ineffective management and fundraising staff. It is becoming primarily a fundraising organization with very little attention paid to its frontline service delivery. A series very serious errors have been made by the leadership over the past few year that continue to be in their positions - despite widespread knowledge that their policies have resulted in the dismantling of the organization.

Cons

A very negative working environment. They eat their young at this place. This used to be a great organization but over the past 3 years has disintegrated into a shell.

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.
