Pros
Fund a small amount of research
Cons
AHA recently changed their mission statement to include the word "relentless". AHA is relentless but not in a good way. Their passion is raising money period. The environment is manipulative, with high pressure tactics used to create a false sense of urgency. Turnover is insane but AHA doesn't care. They abuse and beat directors daily, sometimes hourly, to raise money with NO support and NO resources. Their 20 + year CEO draws almost 2 million a year plus management gets paid big bonuses when directors hit goal. They hire good people with a true passion for the mission then act as parasites using them up until they have nothing left to give, then they heartlessly move on to the next well meaning but gullible person. If you're looking for employment and think you want to do some good in your community, Please look somewhere else. This organization is NOT what they pretend to be. Check out the facts from an independent source not anything from heart.org. Only about 20-25% of the almost billion dollars raised actually goes towards research. Their highest line item is salaries and bonuses then real estate. Keep looking!!
