Pros

An opportunity to truly help people through one of their worst days ever. The mission is a good one.

Cons

Morale is at an all-time low, and it looks like it will be that way for a long time to come. Leaders do not lead, but regularly demonstrate demoralizing arrogance and defensiveness. The organization has traded basic leadership skills and positive, motivating, growth oriented culture for a workforce that is regularly beaten and devalued. Red Cross could do a LOT better were it to admit its deficiencies, be transparent in attempts to fix them, and foster a creative approach to problem solving. Definitely not an organization to join if you want to be valued for your contributions.
