Pros

The Red Cross has a very important social mission. Excellent work life balance. Decent benefits, although they stopped matching 401k's.

Cons

The organization is stagnant. There is significant reluctance to any form of change, as well as any new and innovative approaches to solving social problems. Poor pay.
