Pros

Surrounded by great diversity in every sense, humanitarian professionals both paid and volunteer and high expectations in every aspect. Personal integrity, perseverence and adjusting on-the-go keep one agile and effective. The scope of the organization offers many opportunities for both lateral and upward movement.

Cons

No longer has retirement system for incoming staff. Cumbersome upper-level management hierarchy, especially in the field locations. While improvements have been made in technology and system platforms to support back office functions, there is still room to improve.

Pros

Good mission, good heart. Great president/CEO. Fabulous brand recognition. Lots of opportunities to volunteer, especially when there is a disaster or they need blood.

Cons

Some aggressive types. Humanitarian but a little political. Due to financial challenges and operating expenses of some branches, salaries do not grow rapidly and no bonuses are given.
