      Pros

      As a social service agency it is a great place to work. Helping people in times of emergency is very gratifying. Teaching people how to prepare for emergencies and how to help save a life is a life long skill that many do not forget. Getting that emergency message to a soldier station overseas eases the distance crisis that families face. To work for the Red Cross you must believe in the mission and base your work and actions on the mission. The Red Cross is known nation wide as well as world wide. Only one other logo is more recognized than the Red Cross. It is very gratifying to say, "I am from the Red Cross and I am here to help you."

      Cons

      Working with management at National Headquarters. they soar at 35K feet and do not get to see the real work that goes on. They depend on statistics for a basis of results. They employ outside agencies to write and review Red Cross programs and do not use the knowledge that is in the chapters.

      ARC continuing to collapse

      Pros

      Paid time off for NFP's is always better than in the private sector. Local chapters seem to be flexible with time off, mother's hours etc...

      Cons

      Employee morale is very low, misuse of funds is causing the ARC to go under. The direction the ARC is heading on the local levels is very sad. A once great, helpful NFP that stood above the others, is worse now than most. Turnover is at insane levels.

      Pros

      Be a part of an organization that works to save lives via blood donations, disaster relief, and partakes in global causes. The benefits package here is laughable at best but when you compare it to other businesses locally it's one of the best for this area.

      Cons

      Human Resources is a bunch of IDIOTS.They do not take needs into consideration and if you exhibit slight signs of having a disability, it WILL be used against you. Only the strong will surviive working here for so long.
