American Red Cross

Is this your company?

It is fulfilling work, but don't expect to be well-compensated. - Anonymous employee American Red Cross Employee Review

Pros

Your work directly affects lives of patients in needs as blood has no substitute at the moment. The need is constant and we are trying to ensure the blood supply is safe and adequate. The employees are nice and helpful for the most part.

Cons

Again, don't expect to be well-compensated. Being a non-profit facing budget issues, raises and "great" benefits compared to other companies are rare.

Pros

My experience working with the Red Cross has been great. The work is fulfilling and the people are passionate. Benefits are good - Kaiser is $6 a month!

Cons

There is work life balance, but there is an expectation to work nights and weekends.

Pros

Flexible remote hours, supportive team that treats volunteers as contributors rather than interns, and a low-pressure environment

Cons

Tooling is limited compared to corporate environments — primarily Excel-driven, so you won't get exposure to modern BI stacks (Power BI, Tableau, Snowflake) unless you bring them in yourself. Data sources are inconsistent (legacy .xls files, manual exports requiring conversion), so expect clean-up work.
