Pros

People are almost always happy to see you. You get to see the best in people.

Cons

Everything is always changing. Whenever you get the system down they redo everything. They have cut several employees and the hours of the employees they kept and expect the same amount of work to get done.

Pros

Name recognition looks good on a resume. Feel a sense of purpose. Good benefits, pay is average for health and human services.

Cons

Chapters can get swallowed up, lack of leadership, people in positions of authority have either no motivation or no desire to do their job. No job security. Beyond poor management at the local levels.

Pros

Services really go to the disadvantaged. Non-profit organization. Blood products help patients in need, Emergency services really help victims and this is very noble.

Cons

LOW PAY, No empowerment between line staff and management. Pay should reflect skill of position. Red Cross promotions are hard to come by and they dont reward top talent.
