Pros
You have great opportunity to learn the MANY different programs the Red Cross administers. If you have no life experience, this is a great way to be deployed around the United States and experience Disaster Response.
Cons
Salary is not competitive in the DCS world. Raises are 1.5-3% each year depending on performance. Their programs are antiquated and out of touch with what the mission is for the organization. the ARC is incredibly ineffective and wasteful with their finances. A combination of high turnover (while I was there out of 14 field staff positions, 12 of us were new, and within a year and a half 4 field staff and two senior level employees left. The two senior staff members were from the same position within 5 months of each other. Neither lasting 6 months) and ineffective reliance on volunteers leads to an insane amount of inefficiencies. Additionally, absolutely no work life balance. You'll be working 6+ days per week, 10+ hour days with no additional compensation.
