Pros

The People that are left after this last lay-off are amazing to work with.

Cons

Upper Management is out for filling there own pockets and could care less about anyone else. I would not donate to them or Volunteer. Always lay-offs.. Long term employees are gone at the blink of an eye. You can be the perfect employee for years, then when it comes time to lay you off.... They find something to make you feel horrible. The help they give people is very limited. Maybe 1 night in a hotel and maybe $40 in clothing if needed. It is pretty bad. Of course they may feed, but only a minimum amount. They are waiting for another huge disaster so they can hire more people besides the Gift Planners, then lay them off when possible. It is awful what they do. For a non-profit, they could care less about anything.

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.
