AARP reviews

Leadership and employee morale was very shaky under Barry Rand. Reorganization, layoffs and outsourcing was the name of the game when he was in office, which ironically, half the hundreds of effected workers, were aged 50 or older. I hope that the new CEO of AARP can steer the ship in the right direction.

The selection of organizations that participants are sent to - do not possess the opportunities of being placed full time. They are funded by grants. The participants are judged by whether they are liked by the organization. Some participants get additional help in being placed, while others are shunned. The so-called help that is given cannot be attended by all, since there is a problem with transportation for some. This is not taken into consideration. Participants that are depended on public transportation are looked down upon. The wages are minimal and not everyone can maintain a vehicle. These processes cause the feeling of discrimination. The company frowns upon participants with a wide range of knowledge which may intimidate them.
