Pros

Great mission and benefit package

Cons

As an account manager, the incentive piece was taken away this year for individuals. They made it a team incentive, which is impossible to meet. All departments do not work well together and this price is highly important for the work that we do. They have some reps collecting 600-900 pints each month and meeting all individual targets getting nothing for an incentive, but then they have reps collecting 100-250 pints sitting a home 5 days a week getting their incentive. They do not care about their employees that truly believe in the mission and strive to make it better. Upper management doesn’t care about anything. They preach leadership on all employees but they don’t even show leadership. Some departments get a guarantee 3% merit each year even if they have pages and pages of complaints but their sales team is lucky to get a 1% merit increase. I have never seen an organization that doesn’t care about their sales team. It is so disheartened and they are losing their top reps because of this. No opportunity to move up, they only promote people that don’t deserve it.

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.
