      Good Mission -- Awful Execution

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are lots of well-intentioned people at AARP who believe deeply in the social mission of the organization. Great salaries (too great in many ways) and great benefits Amazing policies with regard to retirement and pension

      Cons

      The organization wastes a remarkable amount of money with ill-conceived projects and programs, then quietly disappears them when they fail. No accountability at all. Certain high-level managers are abusive, bullying, even cruel and are tolerated, in the words of an HR representative, they "get results." Frequent reorganizations ostensibly to streamline but - the ugly truth -- to get rid of "low-energy" employees who have been around for "too long." Dog whistle for "old!" Absolutely no attempt made to retrain or re-assign them, despite all the lip service paid to the value of older workers. Scandalous!
