Decent place to work
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Tucson, AZ – August 18, 2018
It was a good pace to work. It was a competitive work environment with bonuses and incentives available. The most enjoyable part ofr the job was the fact that you could work part time.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
Monotonous
Poor management
Disaster Case Manager (Former Employee) – Tuscaloosa, Alabama – August 18, 2018
I loved the work & miss it but the management from the top was poorly structured & the turnover is still very high. They have a bad reputation locally
Pros
Community help is worth it
Cons
Management, administration
Expect a lot for little compensation
Gift officer (Former Employee) – Philadelphia, PA – August 17, 2018
Nice to be a part of an organization that helps people. Very top down approach of management. A lot of turnover. Very little training. Expected to be at all fundraising events.
Great place
Volunteer Legal Office (Former Employee) – Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany – August 16, 2018
wonderful opportunities, you can get great experience just by volunteering there. the people are friendly and care about your well being. you can gain career experience or just volunteer to help out.
Hours
Mobile Phlebotomist (Current Employee) – Columbus, OH – August 15, 2018
Good job to learn from. Hours are never the same day by day, having a family is hard with this company. The people you work with will become your family though. Management is not very good and it's difficult to move up unless you're a favorite.
Love the people I work with
Phlebotomist (Current Employee) – Paducah, KY – August 15, 2018
The work environment is good because of the people that i work with. There has been a lot of changes at my job that I don't agree with but I do think that the people that are over me are trying their best to make the Red Cross a better Company.
too much restructuring
GRANTS MANAGEMENT (Former Employee) – Philadelphia, PA – August 15, 2018
The American Red Cross was a bit of a disappointment. Although staff were professional and friendly, the overall mission very motivating and there was the ability to work remotely, there was too much restructuring!
Pros
great staff
Cons
too much restructuring
Great humanitarian organization however brutal to their own employees.
Senior Account Manager (Current Employee) – Johnson City, NY – August 15, 2018
Great humanitarian organization however brutal to their own employees. No work/life balance. Top heavy organization with very little consideration of the feet on the street.
Part-Time On-Call Preparedness Health & Safety Services Instructor
HEALTH & SAFETY SERVICES INSTRUCTOR (Former Employee) – Fort Myers, FL – August 15, 2018
As a Part-Time On-Call Preparedness Health & Safety Services Instructor, the American Red Cross paid for all training, instruction, and certifications.
Good place to get experience and find something better
Mobile Phlebotomist (Former Employee) – Novi, MI – August 15, 2018
SEM is a joke, ran by management that dont care about you. The scheduler lives no where near Detroit or Novi and she schedules you so far to drive. They say they keep you within 30 miles of your home that's LIES. They also get you in saying they are transitioning to you driving their transit Van's which also is a LIE.
Again it's a good place to get experience and find better. No appreciation to the good employees.

Pros
Good experience to get and get out and find better
Cons
No gas/mileage reimbursement. Driving 55+ miles 1 way a day
don't apply
Lead Technologist-Infectious Disease Laboratory (Former Employee) – St. Louis, MO – August 15, 2018
It is one of the worst places I ever worked. Don't apply. It was a nightmare. Beware of that place. There are no more National Testing Labs, but I hear the Regional places are no better.
Pros
there are no pros
Cons
I cant list them all here.
Project
Project Management Intern, Disaster Services (Former Employee) – Fairfield, NJ – August 14, 2018
very Interesting, Last summer I was an intern at American Red Cross where I worked on a project to set up fire alarms in three cities in New Jersey where I strategized plans to increase efficiency by deciding the optimal number of teams and hours required and discussed with organizations the funds required for the project.
Mission focused work place
Senior Laboratory Technologist II (Current Employee) – Philadelphia, PA – August 13, 2018
Very good place to work with ample opportunity to grow within the organisation. Have a very friendly atmosphere around the employees and Supervisors. Each employee takes the full responsibility of the work each individual do and the goal is to complete the the task at the first time.
Pros
Good benefits
Cons
No bonus
Worst job ever
Collections Specialist (Former Employee) – Manchester, NH – August 13, 2018
Leaving ARC was the best decision ever. The management especially MJ at the Manchester NH is by far the rudest demeaning individual ever. The scheduler does not care. You could request days off months in advance and still not get them off.
This is a money making company nothing to do with saving any lives. Only people being saved are the higher ups with their 6 figure incomes. No life- work balance. Staff is treated like pawns just another piece to move. Great co workers.

Pros
Lunch breaks
Cons
Long hours, lousy work schedule
You do not want to work here
Service Agent I (Former Employee) – Charlotte, NC – August 13, 2018
There is limited opportunity for advancement down on Forest Point Circle. The work culture is terrible and some the supervisors and floor manager are thieves. They promise incentives and overtime for extra hours worked and I have NEVER received payment for it. They keep lying about pay date. Do yourself a favor and don’t work for this company.They can’t keep employees because of horrible work culture and management.HR is also of no help.
Cons
Attendance, pay, work culture, management, Hr, unprofessional
