Pros

The only redeeming quality of working for this organization, is connecting with an awesome volunteer base, who are passionate about the mission of the organization.

Cons

Too many to list. Please carefully consider coming on board with this organization. Read, and believe, the cons listed here on Glass Door. My move to AHA was the worst move of my career.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review last year. 85% of our population are female and most of our executives are women. We believe that is a huge advantage for us and truly value the vision and leadership that has helped this company grow incredibly. We are sorry that you did not have a good experience with the association but it isn't for everyone.

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.
