Director - Director American Red Cross Employee Review

Pros

Great mission. If you have the right combo of luck, grit, savvy and sponsorship, you can move up. Lots of ex-ATT-ers and other downsized industries at the exec level so there is a lot of experience to learn from. Good ppl are there.

Cons

ATT is probably not the best talent source for a service mission, actively-being-disrupted organization. TREMENDOUS cronyism. Can't emphasize enough. You need to come from private sector to get director or above. It's a privilege and a choice to work at a non-profit, lot's of folks working there don't get that.

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.
