Vantaggi

for the American RedCross ..none there is a "waste " of donated income in satisfying salary requirement for, suposedely, ad-honorem Board member positions. who are taking care of the " International Insititution" as a personal company, just taking value on the appearances and not in real productive field work!. lack of the universal and independance principles, due to having been too closely related to Armed Forces, which gives to the Principle of Universality and Neutrality a bad name internationally, There is the main reason wem the American Red Cross, have lost it " prestige" we once had with our sister federartions

Svantaggi

lack of the universal and independance principles, due to having been too closely related to Armed Forces, which gives to the Principle of Universality and Neutrality a bad name internationally, There is the main reason wem the American Red Cross, have lost it " prestige" we once had with our sister federarations,\ if they really beleive in the Priciples, their performance should be towards inproving our acctions towards our communities ( groups) not individuals

Vantaggi

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!

Svantaggi

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

Vantaggi

You feel connected to a larger mission, and go to bed knowing you did good work. Most of the volunteers are amazing people. The job is a good stepping stone to other disaster management jobs elsewhere. PTO policy is generous and Healthcare is decent.

Svantaggi

You are INCREDIBLY overworked and GROSSLY underpaid. You get zero work-life balance. Even when you're not on call, you'll still get tons of calls from volunteers with questions and concerns. If a volunteer is unavailable to respond to a fire call or tend to any other responsibility day or night, you're on deck. You're salaried, so there's no overtime pay. Your pay barely covers the basic cost of living in today's economy ($40k-$50k). Diversity is bottom heavy, meaning there are lots of employees of color in entry level or lower management roles, but beyond that there's a steep drop off. Most of the volunteers are great, but the Red Cross is so desperate to keep them, that poor behavior and language (racist/sexist/phobic) is not properly disciplined or responded to, if at all. Employee retention is poor, especially in the Disaster Specialist role, because they burn you out so quickly without decent pay.
