Pros

Pay is competitive & there's a pension Budgets are huge- you'll never have to worry about not having enough $. Your challenge will be spending your entire budget before the end of year.

Cons

Company has very different sets of standards depending upon the department you work in. In can be great; it can be a living hell. No internal advancement AARP is an extension of the Democratic National Committee - bi-partisan they're not! Health care benefits are bad! It's hard to believe since endorsing insurance is where they make their $. I bought insurance outside of work because it was cheaper than adding 1 dependent (3 total in my family). AARP's world revolves around brand and image. Which means, many of the "good deeds" they do are self-serving and actually accomplish very little for the advertised target group.
