Pros

Saving lives! Our donors make the madness almost worth it.

Cons

Executive leadership has no clue!! Talent is leaving this place in droves!!! Employees are penalized because the general public is not donating blood like they did in years past! Instead of making the neccesary adjustments, we are expected to drag donors to the beds kicking and screaming to meet the need. I TOTALLY understand that there are lives at stake, but if you run off all of your talent, then what?? There is NO WORK LIFE BALANCE WHAT SO EVER!! You are expected to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!!! Our lack of adequate equipment is laughable! They have tweaked the incentive program to ensure no one makes it. If I hit all targets but my teammates don't - I am penalized by not getting my incentive. We have teammates who have not got a single target in well over 18 months!

Pros

My experience working with the Red Cross has been great. The work is fulfilling and the people are passionate. Benefits are good - Kaiser is $6 a month!

Cons

There is work life balance, but there is an expectation to work nights and weekends.

Pros

Flexible remote hours, supportive team that treats volunteers as contributors rather than interns, and a low-pressure environment

Cons

Tooling is limited compared to corporate environments — primarily Excel-driven, so you won't get exposure to modern BI stacks (Power BI, Tableau, Snowflake) unless you bring them in yourself. Data sources are inconsistent (legacy .xls files, manual exports requiring conversion), so expect clean-up work.
