American Heart Association reviews

Non-Exempt employees only work 37.5 hours a week. They give you a solid hourly rate, but then you find out you work 37.5 hour work weeks which decreases your salary significantly. High turnover! The office has about 50 employees. Every 3 month 3 - 6 people either quit or get terminated. Literally half of the staff from 2015 is gone.

If you have worked as a fundraiser, this job isn't for you. You will realize that the job is more about sales than fundraising. The skills and ideas that you bring in are not welcome. There is a set way of doing things, so there is no room for you to be creative or innovative. Only a select number of YMDs are allowed to have a voice. If you're not a favorite of management, you need to keep your mouth shut and do what you are told. The micromanaging is horrible. The turnover is insane. The morale is low. There is zero work life balance. The job has changed a lot from when I started, and not for the better. Hours have increased, more travel is expected, goals have become unattainable, and we are pressured into asking more and more of the schools that we work with. The good news is that you get a bonus if you make your goal. The bad news is that you get written up or fired if you don't. I loved this job when I first started, but the last couple of years have really turned me off. The strategies and tactics that we are expected to carry out have started to feel dirty.
