American Red Cross reviews

Recent management decisions have been disgracefully handled, lacking professionalism and basic respect. There's a stark divide between leadership and staff, leaving many feeling undervalued and unsupported. The arbitrary use of Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs), especially following conflicts with major donors, is deeply concerning. HR communication on critical employment matters has been woefully inadequate, causing unnecessary stress and confusion. The culture of toxic positivity stifles genuine support for struggling team members, making it nearly impossible to address real challenges. The lack of structured onboarding and ongoing communication and support when seeking help creates an environment of uncertainty and frustration. If you're considering a role here, prepare for the rewarding aspects of the work to be overshadowed by poor management and a lack of regard for employees.

Recent poor hiring decisions based on diversity rather than merit. A culture and structure which virtually eliminates opportunities for promotion. The Red Cross is a very bad place for young women to meet men, or for white men to find employment. White men are not wanted here.
