Pros

the mission:knowing you are helping people and saving lives everyday; the people: the staff are engaged, committed and dedicated to the mission. The opportunity to meet and serve the american public. The Red Cross has excellent benefits and a very generous time off policy.

Cons

It is a non-profit that relies solely on the public's generosity for time, money and blood. No government funding for critical work that Red Cross must perform. Sometimes the long hours at a disaster or just your normal job can be overwhelming.

Pros

the ablility to make a positive difference in the world and to save lives. You can also affect change in the organization.

Cons

the whole not-for-profit thing and lack/cutback mentality gets old. It's used too often as an excuse for why we can't change. We often put the cart before the horse by making pronouncements of projects and timelines that are unrealistic. I've often heard the term "things happen in Red Cross Time".
