Pros

AHA has excellent benefits... better than many large for-profit companies! 401k (called a 403b in a nonprofit matching, pension, medical/dental/vision insurance, tuition reimbursement, PTO...

Cons

Mind-numbing micromanagement. Creativity stiffling environment. If you have any inkling of "out of the box, creative, blaze your own path" type of impact, run from this organization. Robotic, cookie-cutter, process-driven organization. This may be perfect for some folks, but not for folks who thrive in a true sales role.

Pros

This organization makes internal mobility a priority by focusing on career conversations with staff, their learning and development platform, recognition of great work, mentoring programs, and opportunities for employees to connect outside of their roles. It's a mission-driven organization where staff feel that their opinions are valued and that the work that they do is important, no matter their role. Incredible leads in the C-suite and regions that use feedback to drive change and results. When they say competitive pay from other non-profits, they mean it.

Cons

Department structure can be kind of confusing at times. Several training and development teams for systems, so it's hard to know who to go to first. Limited clarity on the structure of the Technology support teams. Always introducing new systems into the organization for efficiency, except certain aspects of existing software are not being maximized to their full potential. Multiple systems cause overwhelm for new hires as they start since there is no central location ("one-stop-shop") for them to find their resources.
