Completely Lacking Integrity

Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working for or with this organization as they are completely lacking in integrity

Cons

Where would one begin. After several years of leadership experience, this was absolutely I would have to say the worst organization I was ever affiliated with. To say they have any sort of leadership would be a compliment which I would refuse to extend to this pathetic and unethical organization who take money from giving people only to line the pockets of some of the world's worst managers. Leadership is stacked in favor of Gail McGovern who should simply be ashamed of herself.

Pros

The mission of the red cross is the best pro if management would follow it. Helping save lives got me going daily. Flexibility and autonomy in this position.

Cons

Completely dysfunctional, unorganized, contradictory management direction. They don't seem to care about their employees at all. I was so disappointed that this was the environment. I would never recommend working there. It was like working for a giant for profit company.

Pros

Meeting great good will people that help others achieve goals through their donation of blood. Working with great people who eventually become family away from family.

Cons

There is a great amount of uncertainty in the day by day operations. Job might be here today and gone tomorrow. Was told in orientationthat ARC (American Red Cross) stood for Always Ready for Change.
