American Red Cross Reviews

Cons

Company morale could improve with better compensation.

Cons

Required to work after hours sometimes.

Cons

Very old and set in their ways. Not employee centered.

Cons

Hours and the general nature of disasters is stressful.

Cons

pay, flexibility, insurance and benefits

Cons

Once you advance to the top of your position, it is hard to advance further unless you leave the department.

Cons

Often times you are affected by another departments issues which can affect your pay, even when things are out of your control such as employee call-outs and department issues. The mileage/vehicle reimbursement could use some adjustment to be more in line with other companies/non-profits. State management/leadership is so so and could use a revamp. Territories are large, some account managers will have 12-15 blood drives/month, while others will host around 25-35 and get the same pay. Not fair or close to being fair by any means. Territories need re-worked.

Cons

Pay, and lots of travel

Cons

Low pay for call center employees, managers and supers earn much better.
The Red Cross will try to get away with over working their employees. Management and upper management have good pay. Good insurance, but when there is money crunch, they have no problem canning people, no matter how long they have been there.

Cons

Low pay. Poor management that picks favorites. Dirty and dilapidated office environment, broken office equipment. I had to sit in a broken chair and when I asked if I could get a chair that wasn't broken I was told I can look around the office and try out any chair not in use. The chairs not in use were all broken or worse than what I had. Points were given if you called out sick so people came to work ill to avoid points and then everyone became ill. Not a lot of compassion.
