      Pros

      Great pension plan makes it worth staying at least 5 years. Otherwise very decent benefits

      Cons

      The only place more political than this company is U.S Congress. Your promotion here is strictly based on how cool you are with folks in leadership. Multiple land mines waiting to blow you away. Advice to candidates considering AARP: definitely not a good place to start a career. Get at least a decade of experience under your belt before coming.

      Looks better on the outside than on the inside

      Pros

      Great benefits package for a nonprofit. Generous sick and leave time, including hours allotted for community service. Talented staff (though not always being encouraged to work to their full potential).

      Cons

      A nonprofit that adopted a corporate culture resulted in constant change (departmental shifts and re-shifts and disruptive staff lay-offs). Divisions and departments still not integrated in work despite years of management talk of integration. Executive and upper level management is out of touch with staff. Their focus is bottom-line ,not the service mission as a nonprofit. Their focus is also their own advancement.
