Pros

Good benefits. If you have to go into the HQ office, good location and nice office. Have a lot of money so have the opportunity to innovate with technology and engagement approaches. Some pockets of very talented people.

Cons

During my tenure, I encountered many challenges that regrettably, make it difficult for me to recommend it as a good place to work. My experience was marked by toxic management, a lack of clear direction from leadership, insufficient communication, and an overwhelming sense that employee well-being and professional growth were not priorities. In many pockets of the company, the culture was not conducive to professional growth or personal well-being. Leadership fostered a culture of unhealthy competition, secrecy and self-preservation rather than collaboration and team success. While every organization has its flaws, the issues at this company run deep, affecting its core operations and, most importantly, its people. For anyone considering employment here, I urge you to weigh these considerations carefully.

Great mission to end age discrimination and doing well to push public policies through that support the mission.

Cons

Little accountability for decisions and behaviors. Poor relationship between leadership and staff. Top-down authoritarian decision-making. Equity and inclusion disparities prevail despite public portrayal. Public perception appears to be prioritized over employee experience.
