Pros

This organization is rewarding and has a favorable working environment. Health and dental coverage is great and can be effective first day on the job if elected. After 3 months of employment, eligible for 401K savings, matched at 4%.

Cons

As a former Accounting/Office Manager with 30+ years work experience and 2 years of college, for me, the salary is below average for my experience. After being unemployed for almost a year, I accepted my first hourly paid position at a reduction in salary of $10,000 annually.

Pros

The company truly goes out of its way to help others. Its employees are also very dedicated. They not only work for the Red Cross but they also volunteer in their spare time. The folks who work here are a dedicated bunch who go out of their way working all sorts of hours to accomplish whatever needs to be done to get their job done and to help others.

Cons

The company does not forecast its spending for operational expenses very well. Because of this every six months they have constant staff layoffs. No one is immune from being laid off with the exception of senior management.They get rid of alot of very useful hardworking staff but then laden themselves with executive directors and all sorts of vice presidents and presidents.
