AARP reviews

takes so many approvals to get anything done, management is focused on furthering their own careers and not fulfilling "the mission." Extremely political internally and every person I know who has worked there for a long time hates it, but cannot leave because the benefits and pay are golden handcuffs. Long term, AARP's relevance is waning as they lose members due to people not wanting to be part of an "old person's" organization. They tolerate incompetence and those incompetent can bully those who are performing and it is tolerated. Hard to get promoted as no one ever leaves, also, because no one leaves

Serious gender discrimination problems. If you’re male, prepare to be discriminated against. Liberal bias. If you’re at all conservative, or god forbid a veteran, you will be looked down on. Sycophants rewarded, questioners punished. Many examples of people asking too many questions being shown the door. A lot of platitudes (“be fearless with us”) but they’re just words, actions are often completely opposite, e.g. they say they want innovation but have zero tolerance for risk. Double standards: Washington DC staff get massages, gym, ice cream socials. Field staff get second-rate everything and are completely marginalized in decision making. A history of extremely poor CEO choices. Currently Joann Jenkins, who invested tens of millions in a failed experiment to produce a tablet device (the RealPad) for older consumers, then defined it as a success and received her usual annual bonus.
