Pros
The American Red Cross does good work and helps people in need. Depending on which chapter you're talking about, people may like their job perfectly well.
Cons
While the ARC has always used volunteers (of which I am one; that's not an option in "Employment Status"), management has decided that since there are many hardworking and skillfull volunteers (which is true), they would reduce paid staff in favor of volunteers stepping in, and thereby strengthen a difficult budget. This may be great in theory, but with reduced staff the remaining staff have a greater load and can no longer take care of things as quickly or as well as they used to. Morale has suffered.
