Pros

The cause, saving life's. Overtime rate is good.

Cons

Adulterious behavior amongst all level of staff! That's the only way to get promoted or a decent raise. No care or concern for staff safety, vehicles are not maintained and are filthy. If you do not participate in clique-ish type behaviors, you are punished, talked about and sabotaged. Fear is used as a tactic to motivate. Professional-ism does not exsist here. Depends on what supervisor you work with for the day determines if you get a break.. Was told this was acceptable. Was told would have to work some Saturdays. Found myself working on a regular basis a 6 day work week.

Pros

Dedicated local staff and volunteers trying to make a difference at the local level and serve as a safety net for a population with very little other options.

Cons

Upper management demand accountability with zero knowledge of local relationships. Horrible staff morale and a top down management system that fails on just about every level. Staff turnover is destroying what made the Red Cross so great and management doesn't care. Horrible decisions being made without taking into account the unique relationships on the local level. Upper management are destroying the Red Cross and its only a matter of time before the financials are too obvious to ignore.
