Pros

The organization has a fantastic mission, and most employees are dedicated to it. There's a great sense of teamwork on the local level. It's nice to work for a brand that's so well-respected and well-known. Somewhat flexible in work/life balance when there's no disaster.

Cons

The pay is terrible unless you work in fundraising. They're currently going through a restructuring--second one in two years--that has resulted in massive staff cuts. It's justified by relying on volunteers, but I think the cuts have been too deep and too much is being put on the volunteers.

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.
