      Pros

      - Bonus structure is above average for non profits. - Work life balance can exist, but depends almost wholly on your manager. - There are good coworkers to be found, but it's frustrating when you see them constantly ground down.

      Cons

      - Favoritism is a problem from the C-suite on down. - There is always a re-org going on. - Because of constant 'voluntary separations' and other euphemistic rounds of layoffs, everyone is often on edge and territorial with work and resources. - Documented complaints of hostile and inappropriate behavior by employees ignored by both senior leadership and an HR department with tied hands. - Appearances matter more than performance. The person who spends more time sitting at their desk - even if they are on FB - is viewed more positively than an efficient employee producing better deliverables. - AARP does not resonate with most Americans anymore. As a brand, AARP is past its own prime.
