Pros

The work life balance here is excellent. Most positions are fully remote.

Cons

No career advancement unless you know someone in the department you want to work for. The recruiters do not give any extra attention to internal candidates. You do not even get a courtesy interview with the hiring manager. Hiring managers will not respond to you if you reach out directly to them.

Pros

The mission and work of the American Red Cross can stand on its own. Providing much-needed resources to the community affected by disasters. The work you do is incredibly fulfilling and special. YOu work with many who are dedicated to the mission and strive to be servants to those in need.

Cons

As an employee, your work-life balance is almost non-existent. Because it is such a heavily volunteer organization (which is great) when volunteers don't show, staff is left to work their full 8-10 hours during normal business hours and pick up any slack after hours, sometimes working over 70-80 hours a week. For people with little children, it's not ideal.
