AAMC reviews

Some departments are better than others for opportunities and professional development. It is a large organization and opportunities will depend a lot on the particular cluster or manager. Despite efforts to be more collaborative and work better across the organization, finding information and processes outside of ones cluster can at times be difficult. The organization seems to be struggling with a balance between being nimble and responsive to opportunity and remaining stable and focused with mission. Recent changes seem to be trending toward the more bureaucracy and review, however it remains to be seen how the organization can stay balanced.

Way too many managers who do everything they can to micromanage their team. These managers did nothing to build a team. They have their favorites and they were typically the ones who got promoted. If you do well at being a "yes" person, this is the place for you. If your manager/director had a problem or concern with you, everyone knew. They would actually avoid having contact with you for fear of being labeled. Toxic managers who needed training and people skills.
