Pros

Many of my colleagues are genuinely a pleasure to work with. Too bad so many are quitting.

Cons

Abusive VP in MMX AO humiliates, berates and threatens her team members publicly. It is a well known fact around the org that she abuses her team, and several official complaints have been filed with both HR and with a company that handles employee complaints. Nothing changes. Many of us are ready to file a complaint with the EEOC. The MMX BU was once a great place to work. It changed in the last few months, drastically. The CXO is becoming unhinged, making for way more drama than necessary. That polished exterior is showing cracks and watch out when it all crumbles.

Pros

The bathrooms are cleaned frequently

Cons

This place has turned into a nightmare. Spread the word. Management has lost all touch with the reality that they are supposed to at least try to "lead." They are generally paranoid and money-hungry and think they are so clever and sneaky about everything. This is what happens when you have a top-heavy organization where greed is the only real motivator. Do not work here, it will ruin your mental well-being. People that do the hard work that actually allows this place to function are treated like dogs. This place is run by a bunch of aging boomers running everything into the ground. Monsters, one and all

Lost Mission and Burnout Culture

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.
