Is this your company?

If you want to learn about the culture, just see how disingenuous the responses are to people's reviews. - Anonymous employee American Red Cross Employee Review

Pros

The mission and the fact that all the worker bees really care about it.

Cons

Leadership and management are so disingenuous. We are facing huge challenges and they appear to have no idea what they are doing. Morale is awful but mad morale is improved by leadership setting the tone, and not just through words but with actions. You can clearly see that all the responses to the reviews on this site are written like talking points. They are not written like they actually care about what the reviewer said, they are not even directed at the reviewer but at the audience.

Pros

- decent health insurance - helping people feels good. - depending on your chapter you can get good, flexible time - some volunteers are legit saints

Cons

- everyone on the inside doesn’t think things will meaningfully change, it’s systemic. - leadership is often out of touch in expectations and demands, while provide verbal support (at best), chronic understaffing, and focusing on what looks good (to media, PR, etc.). - turnover is extreme - on call is 24/7, volunteer capacity is dwindling especially in rural areas, we have to fill in the gaps, as a result you will be trapped in your area and cannot be good at your actual job. - the non-saint volunteers will treat you horribly, god forbid if you are a woman in this position, there’s a de-facto no firing policy on volunteers - pay is so bad is borders on funny, they gave me a raise this year for ‘merit,’ it was $750…for the year. My boss even laughed when telling me. - it’s a culture of management not leadership, so do not expect either honesty or accountability
