Business outlook
Pros
- Great exposure to the disaster response sector (if that's something you'd like to pursue as a career) - Great opportunity to network with local organizations - Lots of opportunities for advancement given high levels of turnover
Cons
- Long, unpredictable hours especially during periods of disaster response - No compensation for "on call" hours - Low pay (relative to the area) - High levels of turn over for both volunteers and staff - Volunteer morale is low, making volunteer management especially difficult - National organization sets priorities for entire organization, forcing local areas to implement programs even if they might not be wanted or needed
