Pros

Some of the people were emotionally available for acquaintance like friendships. Good location on the West End, right next to Rock Creek Park Reasonable facilities Comparable benefits package Some organization sponsored activities

Cons

A majority of the people are emotionally unavailable, unprofessional and unaccountable for their inappropriate actions. Senior Management is decisive in making up their minds but providing consistent guidance is rare and decisions were often countered by 180 degree changes. Senior management is consistently inconsistent in supporting their decisions. A decision at AAMC is like a gazelle roaming freely across the Serengeti. Whereas, following senior management’s direction without caution within the political environment at AAMC can feel like being pounced by a pride of lions after freely carrying out the direction of senior management, without caution. If you look closely, you will see the trail of bones in the grass. Don’t be fooled, if you work at AAMC, those will be your bones one day. Due to the hostile political environment at AAMC, senior management never takes responsibility for their inability to communicate effectively, or provide consistent direction to its staff. Senior management doesn’t communicate to other members of the senior management and doesn’t communicate with its staff. Unaccountable senior management often acted unprofessionally with no consequences for their inappropriate actions. Center of Washington DC, so you had to deal with DC traffic and AAMC is 8 blocks from the nearest subway station. Senior management doesn’t provide support to their staff in order for them to carry out the decisions senior staff makes. When working for AAMC, walk very carefully, because you never know when you will step on a landmine or be held accountable for senior management’s stepping on the landmine. If you take employment at AAMC, you probably wont enjoy the experience for the less than standard pay, unless you are senior management.

Pros

They do have excellent benefits for a non-profit.

Cons

Leadership is catty and there is lots of back biting. Ethically dubious use of internal resources against employees. Saw plenty on gender-based discrimination. Asked for help but HR could not be bothered.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that this was your experience while at AAMC. DiSC, like the other trainings and assessments we offer, is not meant to be a prescriptive guide but rather a tool to make you aware of and assist you in working with employees with different working styles. It is one tool in an employee’s toolbox to help build more effective and productive relationships. We take your feedback about discrimination very seriously. The AAMC is committed to providing its employees a diverse and inclusive environment. As a part of that commitment, we are educating our managers, increasing awareness through training, and working to ensure diversity and inclusion is ingrained in all human resources practices. Please reach out if you’d like to discuss this further.
