Good place to get experience - Lab Technician I American Red Cross Employee Review

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!

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

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

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.
