Pros

got to meet different people, opportunity to grow in field, raise every 6 months, decent pay, mileage reimbursment, experience, good title on resume.

Cons

poor management that fraternizes and sleeps with some of the employees, very unproffessional workers who are loud and irrate. No flexibility with hours, the schedule leaves no room for a life outside of work. If you show up late or dont come in you get whats called an "occurence" and after a certain amount of these they fire you. They fire anyone they dont like and pretty much hire anyone. Your supposed to have a specific area to work in that is close to where you live but you will barely be in that area. Instead they will put you somewhere 3 hours out of where you live and expect you to be there on time at like 5 am. They say they reimburse your travel pay and parking costs but that takes months to get back and constant arguing with them to get it and by that time you dont even care anymore. This place is pretty much full of young "ghetto' immature people. Its like a big highschool, there are fights and gossip and if your desperate for a job than maybe take it but im said to say i wasted two years of my life here smh

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.
