Huge Leadership Fail

Pros

Great Coworkers. Fair Compensation. Strong Benefits. However, the pros are taking a serious hit under the new CEO.

Weak Leadership. No Advancement Opportunity, unless you know somebody. And Dr. Whyte.

Lost Mission and Burnout Culture

Anonymous employee

Pros

The colleagues below the Director level are, for the most part, caring, hardworking professionals who genuinely want to do good work. Many still believe in and care deeply about AMA’s mission, despite the challenges created by leadership. The people are the organization’s greatest asset, which makes it even more disappointing to see their dedication and expertise consistently undervalued.

Cons

Do not apply here unless you are truly out of options. Leadership at the Director level and above has created a culture marked by poor communication, disorganization, and a lack of accountability. The current CEO, Whyte, frequently speaks about making AMA one of the best places to work, but many employees have seen little meaningful action to support that goal. Since his arrival, the organization has experienced ongoing layoffs and significant voluntary turnover, including the departure of many strong employees. As a result, morale is low, and many remaining staff members either feel stuck or have been with the organization long enough to accept the status quo. Employees are often reminded how “lucky” they are to have a job, while nearly every issue is treated as an urgent priority, making it difficult to focus on work that truly matters. Most disappointing is the feeling that AMA’s mission has taken a back seat to leadership’s other priorities. The people doing the day-to-day work are often left to manage the consequences of decisions made at the top.

Pros

Compensation is on par with industry

Cons

Leadership (lack of it) No one under SVPs are empowered to make decisions, leaving everyone else to "fight it out". This, in turn, has resulted in a very poor culture. Now, about 80% of employees are extremely apathetic and could care less about getting anything done for the company. They've also hired remote employees within the past year and now letting them go due to the ridiculous new RTO policy.
