American Red Cross

Is this your company?

I work with wonderful people, for an organization with tremendous potential, almost none of which is actualized. - Bookkeeper American Red Cross Employee Review

Pros

There are many compassionate employees here. And the work of the organization is worthwhile on every level. And the very top management is doing what is necessary for the survival of the American Red Cross.

Cons

Unfortunately, at the moment, the work environment is poor. The top management has realized that drastic changes need to be made for the non-profit to survive. Those changes have been implemented at a blistering pace that has resulted in the loss of huge numbers of experienced employees, created gaping chasms in communication, and left most of the front-line employees bewildered as to what is expected of them. The fast pace has also created an environment where playing politics can bring promotion to some that are perhaps ill-equipped to be leaders. Finally, there is no internal promotion structure within the organization as there once was.

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.
