Pros

Retirement benefits and flexible schedule (depending on your manager)

Cons

Managers micromanage and pick favorites. In my office you are required to send your manager every email for review and copy them on anything you send. You are also required to bring 2-3 people to every external meeting. There is no trust among upper management and you must do whatever they say. They aren't open to ideas or suggestions unless you are one of the 'chosen' favorites. For such a sales driven environment, they don't have any planning tools or proper projections. People will literally make up numbers for potential sponsorships without ever meeting or speaking to the prospect. There also isn't much movement if you don't want to be a fundraiser. For anyone looking to work here, ask about the turnover in the office and listen to the negative reviews. All offices across the nation have similar problems. I also want to add that HR is aware of the bad glassdoor reputation and started an internal campaign to encourage employees to write positive reviews....

The American Heart Association is a great place to work. Throughout my tenure, I’ve had the opportunity to grow professionally while supporting a mission that truly makes a difference. 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.
