Pros

For such a large organization, they are buttoned up from top to bottom; extremely transparent and top management is accessible; the work overall is diverse and interesting and you feel like you are making a difference; great colleagues and volunteers.

Cons

The HR process upon giving my notice was essentially non-existent, no exit interview, sent me a paycheck after I left that I had to return to the company ... it was almost like I was the 1st person to ever leave AARP.

Pros

Benefits and flexible work schedule; Project opportunities (if given fairly); Exposure to office culture (good and bad)

Cons

A lot of office politics based on who is in charge of your team, department, etc. This can lead to unfairness and poor treatment. It took years and new management for me to get the salary I deserve. The wrong people are given power in this company and it shows in the work and environment.
