Very poorly managed - Associate American Red Cross Employee Review

Pros

Staff and volunteers in the field offices are usually very helpful and try very hard to help clients. Mission is admirable if it was accomplished.

Cons

Senior Management at National Headquarters is disorganized. Unfortunately, many senior managers in the Service to the Armed Forces department play politics and don't really care about helping the customer (military members and their families). They seem to be more concerned with seeking personal recognition. Inexperienced employees at call centers with callous attitudes handle most calls from service members and families in need.

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.
