Pros

People's lives are actually saved by what we do Vacation time is pretty good Co-workers are mostly decent, hardworking people

Cons

Technology is terrible, if you like to start your day waiting 20 minutes for a computer to boot up...this could be the place for you! Office is embarrassing with run-down, dirty, mismatched furniture...doesn't look like a place I'd like a sterile procedure done! Management treats you like a child as if you have never worked a day in your life before the Red Cross Sales Methodologies and attitudes are very dated Not exactly a white collar sales job, be prepared to get dirty! I wouldn't take this job fresh out of college! Nevermind with existing work experience...STAY AWAY! Worst "Professional" job I have ever had No Raises in 2 years, nothing motivates you like "You are doing great, and we wish we could give you a raise...but we can't...Sorry! just keep working hard!!" No 401k match

Pros

- decent health insurance - helping people feels good. - depending on your chapter you can get good, flexible time - some volunteers are legit saints

Cons

- everyone on the inside doesn’t think things will meaningfully change, it’s systemic. - leadership is often out of touch in expectations and demands, while provide verbal support (at best), chronic understaffing, and focusing on what looks good (to media, PR, etc.). - turnover is extreme - on call is 24/7, volunteer capacity is dwindling especially in rural areas, we have to fill in the gaps, as a result you will be trapped in your area and cannot be good at your actual job. - the non-saint volunteers will treat you horribly, god forbid if you are a woman in this position, there’s a de-facto no firing policy on volunteers - pay is so bad is borders on funny, they gave me a raise this year for ‘merit,’ it was $750…for the year. My boss even laughed when telling me. - it’s a culture of management not leadership, so do not expect either honesty or accountability
