Pros

I'm not able to recall an admirable, positive experience but for working with Cass Wheeler. He is a man of integrity and unfortunately, his attributes did not trickle down.

Cons

Name it and employees will confirm your worst nightmare. This toxic environment continues to cause duress, unnecessary stress, supervisory discouragement and that they strive to be empowered by discrediting and not fueling the positive aspects and potential of employees.

Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to write a review. The culture and environment is challenging but not toxic. It is not for everyone. Our Wellness Program, It Is All About Me actually offers great webinars and the opportunity to earn credits to 3 wellness credits per quarter than be used for time off so our employees can earn an additional 12 hours of time off.

I especially appreciate the organization’s commitment to work-life balance and its supportive culture. I’m proud to be part of the AHA family.

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.
