Meaningful work, but limited career growth opportunities
Pros
the work is meaningful. a lot of great local partnerships to maintain, very public health focused work when i first got hired 5 years ago. the team is great and work life balance is amazing! can learn a lot about partnership strategy and management.
Cons
after 2-3 reorganizations, our work has become more just dissemination of information and programs we offer rather than focusing on public health consultation which is disappointing. the pay is okay depending on where your geography is. the worst is the growth opportunity. there is NO opportunity for a career pathing here at acs. applied as an internal candidate to 4 roles and havent received an offer due to internal political dynamics. its not a great way to retain employees for the long term if employees are expected to just stay in their one role without support to grow employees to stay within the organization in different roles.
