Pros

The AHA does a wonderful job of respecting an employee's work/life balance. I appreciate that the company promotes from within and many of the upper-level senior management are intelligent, respectful, and professional.

Cons

Unfortunately, due to the economy the AHA's training structure all but tanked. The company's formal training consists of way too many conference calls and an online "university" learning center which you don't have time to take courses on. It seems that there are too many chiefs and not enough indians, especially in cut-backs. It feels like they're moving back to a generalist structure where you manage multiple events.

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.
