Pros

- Great exposure to the disaster response sector (if that's something you'd like to pursue as a career) - Great opportunity to network with local organizations - Lots of opportunities for advancement given high levels of turnover

Cons

- Long, unpredictable hours especially during periods of disaster response - No compensation for "on call" hours - Low pay (relative to the area) - High levels of turn over for both volunteers and staff - Volunteer morale is low, making volunteer management especially difficult - National organization sets priorities for entire organization, forcing local areas to implement programs even if they might not be wanted or needed

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.
