Pros

Fabulous coworkers; a feeling like you're actually helping the greater good; opportunity to interact with folks across the association; favorable base compensation compared with other nonprofits.

Cons

Annual merit increases are barely at cost of living increase; minimal opportunity for advancement--the organization needs more defined career pathing; when promotions are available employees are forced to go through an extremely rigorous hiring process with multiple rounds of interviews and even if one does get a promotion the maximum increase permitted was 10%.

Pros

Great passion for core values of AARP, Good location

Cons

Works in a old government fashion and resistant to change. Old building with tons of old offices. Too much hand holding and results in millions of wasted dollars. Doesn't make timely decisions and no accountability, unless you not part of the "clique"
