Pros
If helping people is what you love doing, this definitely is a seemingly good company for it
Cons
From the outside, it's a great cause, from the inside though, they treat you like you're disposable. No respect, the pay is horrible, you're better off towel drying cars at a car wash. Pays more.
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The mission allows you to help people in their time of need. You also have an amazing opportunity to work with volunteers from all walks of life. The organization is massively diverse and you will learn A LOT in your time with the company.
Cons
The work life balance is difficult to achieve as there is always more work that can and needs to be done. Trying to learn all of the programs, processes, procedures and guidelines can be really overwhelming at first as the onboarding can't help you to internalize the massive amount of information. In times of disaster response you have to be ready to deploy and commit to the 12 hour days. Very rewarding but very challenging.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Flexible job, independent managing, self supporting
Cons
A lot of manual/physical work if alone
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great cause and meaning behind the job
Cons
Can be political and beauracratic
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Learning valuable skills such as performing CPR or handling different situations.
Cons
Having to retain the information and studying it periodically.
