American Red Cross reviews

Alleged 'experts', both consultants and senior leadership are clueless at identifying root causes of problems, developing expedient solutions, and implementing needed changes. Untold $Millions have been wasted on a revolving door of consultants with elaborate and unworkable 'solutions' which have either never been implemented or are only partially installed, and less efficient and less effective than prior systems and methods. Long term employees are pushed aside, or terminated for presenting realistic assessments of the ongoing failures, and weaknesses of the most fashionable 'transformation'.

Lack of leadership, management skills, vision, humanitarian focus. Evidence of long-term patterns of malfeasance, discrimination and even corruption. Lack of recourse within organization to employees who protest, wish to resolve problems or seek redress. Deep structural cronyism. Punitive conduct towards those who ask questions or urge reform. Institutional arrogance and inertia. Open exploitation of donors and volunteers with false promises and platitudes. Misallocation of donor monies and volunteer time. Lack of respect for donor and volunteer privacy and confidentiality. Repeated violations of key federal and state regulations. Expensive use of PR to stifle criticism and dodge accountability. Leadership tends to be politically partisan and from right of the political spectrum.
