Its a great place to be. You meet a lot of great people from all over. I respond to all local disaster, and national calls. The Redcross fly's you across the country to where you are needed. I work in shelters as a supervisor, and anything else that's needs to be done.

Phlebotomist (Former Employee) – Fairfax, VA – June 13, 2018
challenging work environment. To far from my home. I was a mobile phlebotomist and assignments could be 60 miles away. Coworkers were nice and pleasant. Very busy and challenging meaning patients and coworkers/management. No rewards or bonuses. The volunteers made all our days happy.
Run you ragged
Mobile Collections Technician (Former Employee) – Roanoke, VA – June 13, 2018
Drive 3 hours to set up and perform blood drive then break down and come back. While a branch 2 hours away does a blood drive by your branch....huh? I guess wasting tons of gasoline helps with some form of paperwork?
Lots of back talking by people who think thats how to move ahead.
Asking for restroom break gets you ridiculed, yet its ok for smokers to take a break every 90mn
After some health issues i was told i could come back but 2 months later total management overhaul and i was denied the opportunity to return so a managera girlfriend could be hired. When i spoke up on that i was told shes a minority and can do as she pleases

Not a family-friendly place to work.
Team Supervisor of Collections (Former Employee) – Wilmington, NC – June 11, 2018
Challenging working environment with unstable hours and poor communication. The company is unwilling to modify your schedule for family or individual needs. Advancement and promotion are also very limited, and the pay is not commensurate with the work load required.
Pros
Benefits are pretty good
Cons
Very unstable work hours
Fun Summers with fun people
Lifeguard Certification Completion (Former Employee) – California – June 11, 2018
When you walk into work there is always something to do right as you get in. Talking to people and being great at communication is important too. I learned that people need reassurance when being talked to. the most enjoyable part is the people you work with and how fun they can be. the hardest part of the job is making sure that you do not disappoint the customer and always to to keep them happy.
Great mission
Supply and Logistics Supervisor (Former Employee) – Farmington, CT – June 10, 2018
AMERICAN Red Cross was a good place to work. I started working in the Components Lab and I posted to the Quarantine and Labeling Dept. From there I was promoted to Central Supply and Logistics Supervisor where I hoped to retire. My position was eliminated.
