Pros
Seriously, who wouldn't want to make a career out of helping disaster victims, military families, critically ill patients and school children who want to learn to swim?
Cons
HQ Senior Leadership, who seem to have no understanding of the grass-roots, volunteer-led (and volunteer dependent) nature of the Red Cross, have been floundering for the past 4 years. To field leadership, employees and volunteers, the leadership in DC appears tragically clueless. Extremely expensive, ineffective, counter-productive and stressful changes and consolidations have become the norm. Sadly, even with its amazing mission, I wouldn't recommend accepting a position with the Red Cross for the forseeable future.
