Pros

There were, at one time, very good benefits....now they are on par with a mediocre company.

Cons

There is absolutely NO respect for personal/family time (regardless of your position or seniority). Senior Management have little to no management experience which leads to frustration when attempting to direct employees. Abusive and unhealthy management practices toward employees.

Pros

The Red Cross has a very important social mission. Excellent work life balance. Decent benefits, although they stopped matching 401k's.

Cons

The organization is stagnant. There is significant reluctance to any form of change, as well as any new and innovative approaches to solving social problems. Poor pay.
