Pros

ARC has a great mission and some truly dedicated staff and volunteers

Cons

The strategic review process is a joke - the leadership team's pet projects were kept while core services were reduced drastically or eliminated. The leadership team lied to senior management about budget projections and priorities, doing exactly as they pleased once they walked out of the high level budget meetings. This organization benefits from a great reputation and recognizable brand, but they are a joke. Can't wait to find a position with an org that actually fulfills its mission.

Pros

My experience working with the Red Cross has been great. The work is fulfilling and the people are passionate. Benefits are good - Kaiser is $6 a month!

Cons

There is work life balance, but there is an expectation to work nights and weekends.
