Pros

I was given an opportunity to learn the ins and outs of non profit accounting shortly out of college. This was my first real professional experience and I appreciate the opportunity.

Cons

After about six months, the training stopped and I was thrown in head first. The management of the department I'm in is poor to say the least. I currently work under constraints that no one else seems to be subjected to. The pay for the industry is not competitive and the raises are minimal.

Thank you for your review. We are glad that you gained valuable experience in your first job out of college and are sorry to hear that you were disappointed six months in. We encourage you to speak with your supervisor or HR Advisor about your experience, as it may assist in improving onboarding down the road. Finally, as a nonprofit we must do our best to fairly compensate our employees while being mindful of our donors dollars. We are always looking for ways to reward our valuable employees. Thank you for your feedback.

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.
