      Excellent resources and support from the national office but interoffice politics were difficult and not managed well.

      Pros

      Cutting edge grassroots organizing technology tools, resources for polling and travel, plus the motivation to make the world better for all AARP eligible individuals and those who are getting there.

      Cons

      AARP is a 24/7 organization so it is difficult to find a work/life balance. Promotions generally no longer come from within the staff so there is little opportunity to advance if you are in the field.

      Pros

      Great benefits, location, co-workers, and mission - working with people driven to help others is always uplifting - but they're not all bleeding hearts, and quite fun!

      Cons

      Group decision-making stalls/delays objectives - or random high-level decisions don't make sense but must be implemented anyway. Lots of internal operations that don't always make sense. Also - issues w/ accountability in some staff/departments.

      Great mission, poor execution.

      Pros

      Benefits are top notch and the mission is noble in it's calling. The effort currently being made will personalize the services provided to seniors. This approach will recognize the needs of the individual and present specific services that will address those needs.

      Cons

      The senior management is in constant flux causing constant reorganization and turnover. Entire functions have been eliminated overnight as it fell out of favor to the more powerful political senior manager. Finally, if you are not politically inclined, this may not be the organization for you.
