Frustrating.

Pros

The work itself is very rewarding- it's a unique organization and no other agency can do everything that it does.

Cons

Extremely inefficient, often does not live up to the public trust. Not a lot of accountability.

Only good for volunteering.

Pros

Non-profit, mostly nice employees, free hot cocoa, nice facilities, very organized and effective Youth department at the Orange County Red Cross.

Cons

I held numerous positions at the Red Cross from Volunteer to Youth Leadership to Camp Counselor to Marketing Intern. Though the Youth Department was very well developed, I felt that elsewhere it wasn't. As a Marketing Intern, I was sorely disappointed by the lack of leadership and organization. I wasn't taught very much, was sent to do menial tasks (at one point folding letters and sealing envelopes), and my supervisor often forgot that I was supposed to come in so I was left with little to do. Worst internship experience ever.

A friendly bunch of mission focused individuals

Pros

If you have passion for the mission you will find others like you. You get to help prepare communities for disaster as well as respond in times they need it most.

Cons

Non profit in today's economy can be rough. People don't work here for the money.
