Pros

Great mission. If you have the right combo of luck, grit, savvy and sponsorship, you can move up. Lots of ex-ATT-ers and other downsized industries at the exec level so there is a lot of experience to learn from. Good ppl are there.

Cons

ATT is probably not the best talent source for a service mission, actively-being-disrupted organization. TREMENDOUS cronyism. Can't emphasize enough. You need to come from private sector to get director or above. It's a privilege and a choice to work at a non-profit, lot's of folks working there don't get that.

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.
