Pros

Fast paced environment, physically demanding, if you like that kinda thing...

Cons

Very labor intensive position. Taking blood is a tiny part of this job. Its a lot of packing supplies, loading them into vans, weighing ice, unpacking at site, setting it up, then comes the blood drives. Lunches were hard to get depending on the manager on duty. Don't expect to have a life with his job, hours are all over the place as blood drives take place at different times. Drive time is also a factor. Sometimes, blood drives would be an hour away, making that a VERY long day to be back in 6 hours for another drive. Coworkers are very immature at this location.

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.
