Pros

The company has flex times, where your not always working earlies or lates. The company will work with you when you need certain times or days. It's a nice company to work for.

Cons

Some times the traveling can get hectic, some of the coworkers can be difficults to work with, some are willing to help you others are not. The majority of the manager are nice and helpful.

Pros

The best reason to work at the Red Cross is the sense of satisfaction that you get knowing that you - in some small way - helped to improve someone else's life.

Cons

Like most large non-profits, it suffers from intense bureaucracy that is perpetuated by an "old guard" middle- and upper-management. Most of these directors / managers are ill-equipped to innovate and change business practices largely because of poor emphasis on professional development. Additionally, those that do seek to innovate and change quickly leave - either because of the organizational conflict they stir up or out of frustration.
