Pluspunten

Work from home. Staff appreciation days are great. Training was fairly thorough.

Minpunten

No variable shifts. Seems like much of the staff is lazy and incompetent at their work since they do nothing correctly in donor's profiles even though we were trained to know how to navigate. No upward mobility. Raises are a joke. Bad for mental health if you're calling donors since ARC harasses people multiple times a week to donate and you WILL get verbally abused multiple times a day. Encouraged to guilt trip donors into coming and donating. Encouraged to push donors to come and donate. Keep raising expectations to near impossible levels when they're giving out too many monthy bonuses. Weekly 'this is how you can do better' meetings are the opposite of encouraging, and also don't give you enough time to implement changes in scripting to make much of a difference in output. You can ask questions in help chat and never get an answer, which is bad when the question is time-sensitive.

Pluspunten

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!

Minpunten

There is work life balance, but there is an expectation to work nights and weekends.

Pluspunten

You feel connected to a larger mission, and go to bed knowing you did good work. Most of the volunteers are amazing people. The job is a good stepping stone to other disaster management jobs elsewhere. PTO policy is generous and Healthcare is decent.

Minpunten

You are INCREDIBLY overworked and GROSSLY underpaid. You get zero work-life balance. Even when you're not on call, you'll still get tons of calls from volunteers with questions and concerns. If a volunteer is unavailable to respond to a fire call or tend to any other responsibility day or night, you're on deck. You're salaried, so there's no overtime pay. Your pay barely covers the basic cost of living in today's economy ($40k-$50k). Diversity is bottom heavy, meaning there are lots of employees of color in entry level or lower management roles, but beyond that there's a steep drop off. Most of the volunteers are great, but the Red Cross is so desperate to keep them, that poor behavior and language (racist/sexist/phobic) is not properly disciplined or responded to, if at all. Employee retention is poor, especially in the Disaster Specialist role, because they burn you out so quickly without decent pay.
