      AARP Volunteer Tax Preparer

      Pros

      I enjoyed helping people with their taxes, met a few good people, and good work experience preparing Individual income tax returns.

      Cons

      The people I spent most of my time working with were aholes, and so were the customers. If I could've worked in a different area I would've stayed. Also, they wanted me to become a manger. Not worth it.

      Great mission, great people. Pockets of ineffective, dysfunctional management

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You'll work with wonderful people. The work-life balance is basically good (though it's not what it used to be; workloads and expectations have ratcheted up significantly). The mission is warm and fuzzy, and staff genuinely care about making life better for people 50+. Pay and benefits are quite good.

      Cons

      There are some key execs who have undue influence and are in the wrong roles based on their skill sets. There's a lot of infighting and dysfunction. But a lot of terrific people stay because they believe in the mission and they genuinely want to make the organization more effective. It's just highly challenging to do that from the bottom or middle. There are a couple of key obstructionists who have a lot of power and therefore can torpedo ideas that would change the company for the better. There's also very limited opportunity for advancement, and no program to groom or retain high performers.
