Pros

Humanitarian mission, in helping others, informing and educating public on needs of donating blood and doing humanitarian work for others. First response to disasters.

Cons

Cons about working with a non-profit organization is the compensation and benefits at a job market level. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work for what we do.

Pros

Big brand, passionate employees, great location, experiences like no other, never a dull moment, decent paid-time off, flexible schedules, global exposure

Cons

Career development is not a priority, ancient systems, outdated technology, hard to get approval for training,...there would be more but I hear that the mgmt just made a smart move and got rid of most of the dead weight from the good ole boy years...about time!

Pros

It's a relaxed working environment. There are many opportunities to learn about different job functions and how a non-profit organization functions. There are diversity inclusion days, and social events for the employees. You would be helping the community. I had many opportunities to interact with people and talk to victims of local disasters.

Cons

I worked for one of the branches of Red Cross and it is relatively small. We had trouble getting volunteers, and the lack of volunteers affected our work. Resources are limited too, so there are limited funds for the organization to spend on its office facilities.
