American Red Cross reviews

HQ Senior Leadership, who seem to have no understanding of the grass-roots, volunteer-led (and volunteer dependent) nature of the Red Cross, have been floundering for the past 4 years. To field leadership, employees and volunteers, the leadership in DC appears tragically clueless. Extremely expensive, ineffective, counter-productive and stressful changes and consolidations have become the norm. Sadly, even with its amazing mission, I wouldn't recommend accepting a position with the Red Cross for the forseeable future.

Alleged 'experts', both consultants and senior leadership are clueless at identifying root causes of problems, developing expedient solutions, and implementing needed changes. Untold $Millions have been wasted on a revolving door of consultants with elaborate and unworkable 'solutions' which have either never been implemented or are only partially installed, and less efficient and less effective than prior systems and methods. Long term employees are pushed aside, or terminated for presenting realistic assessments of the ongoing failures, and weaknesses of the most fashionable 'transformation'.
