Pros

The cause, saving life's. Overtime rate is good.

Cons

Adulterious behavior amongst all level of staff! That's the only way to get promoted or a decent raise. No care or concern for staff safety, vehicles are not maintained and are filthy. If you do not participate in clique-ish type behaviors, you are punished, talked about and sabotaged. Fear is used as a tactic to motivate. Professional-ism does not exsist here. Depends on what supervisor you work with for the day determines if you get a break.. Was told this was acceptable. Was told would have to work some Saturdays. Found myself working on a regular basis a 6 day work week.

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.
