      Proud to be a Red Crosser

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Great mission, horrible leadership

      Associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The mission is very honorable, there is something uniquely different about working to help others and working for just a paycheck. You meet a wide variety of people from different backgrounds.

      Cons

      HQ needs a complete makeover. Instead of laying off employees every quarter, HQ should reevaluate its leadership. The organization is also stuck in the past, refusing to move along with the times. It lacks a connection with the younger generation, who will eventually be their key financial supporters. Total lack of respect for chapter employees, the ones who are out in the field and doing all the grunt work. Employees who hold leadership roles do not respect their lower rung employees. Lack of growth potential, no encouragement to succeed.

      Good mission; tremendous stress

      Quality assurance associate

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Because you believe in the mission. Your personal knowledge that you're doing something for the greater good.

      Cons

      Never any positive feedback from employers, you're only aware of your job performance when something is wrong, and then it's probably to late. It's the humanitarian organization that can't take care of its own people.
