      Editorial hires beware!

      Pros

      Leadership is spending millions on renovating the building - maybe not a good use of membership fees, but it will be a great facility. If you are in the right department, you're golden. Decent pay and benefits.

      Cons

      1. Editorial leadership is nasty, out-of-touch and not forthcoming. 2. Content providers and lower-rung editors constantly ridiculed and abused by upper management. 3. Ideas must conform to assorted agendas. 4. Content producers are not valued. 5. Managers have no idea how to motivate or reward staff. 6. There's a Devil Wore Prada mentality among key senior editors. 7. Too many meetings, which seem to serve the purpose of justifying many underwhelming jobs.

      Pros

      Training for reentering the workforce.

      Cons

      Negligent, unprofessional, unethical. Working for 4 weeks and still not paid. Clerical error made by Aarp Scsep employee by miss keying address correctly for check to be mailed. I have worked continuously at Host company without fail. Get the run around when inquiring about check. Haven't been able to purchase medications for 5 days BECAUSE I have no money. Utilities are threatening disconnection because payment arrangement not kept. I will face additional charges because of Aarps negligence. No empathy or concern for my well-being. Causing horrific stress to disabled senior suffering with Multiple Sclerosis.

      Pros

      Great pay, excellent benefits, smart and committed colleagues. Top management will listen to employees and make some positive changes based on employee surveys.

      Cons

      Slow to make decisions; employees sometimes caught in turf wars among managers; association is becoming more bottom-line focused
