      Best of intentions, limited resources and poor leadership

      Pros

      As a department of one I gained extensive experience within my role, wearing multiple "hats" on a day-to-day basis which helped me learn quickly. It felt good to work for such a vital organization that helped the community during times of need and every day through training.

      Cons

      The national organization recently restructured -- which was necessary to keep costs down -- but also placed a great burden on individual regions and chapters. Employees had limited resources, and due to the 'emergency' nature of the field it created a VERY poor work/life balance as you are always expected to respond on a moment's notice. The job quickly became very draining and turnover was/is extremely high. If you are considering working for a local Red Cross chapter/region, know that a great number of responsibilities will be placed on you. If you are truly invested in the cause you will probably not mind the high demand as much as someone just looking for a career.
