Pros

Working for Red Cross provides you with the satisfaction of knowing you are part of an organization that, historically speaking, has made it their mission to help out in times of need.

Cons

That said, years of mismanagement and poor fiscal responsibility has made it a huge gamble for employees. Ask anyone who has been part of the organization how many times they have either faced a layoff themself or seen their department or function impacted by layoffs. You're better to volunteer at a local chapter and avoid becoming part of the paid ARC staff.

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.
