Great company - Anonymous employee Chinese Mutual Aid Association Employee Review

CMAA offers many impactful social services to the Chicagoland community, including youth programming, care for the elderly, and workforce assistance to help immigrants get living-wage jobs. Vast majority of staff members are very dedicated, and many care for each other so much that the joke is that no one ever really leaves the CMAA "family," as many former staff remain involved in various volunteer capacities. The Board of Directors is also very diverse and includes many of the leaders of the AAPI community in Illinois. The management team has strong leaders in many key positions. If you look at the organization's fiscal 990's, the agency has a strong financial position, particularly since 2013, as it has grown from $4M annually to now over $10M annually.

Like many non-profit organizations, the agency is still challenged in wanting to fill more needed administrative staff members.

A lot of my coworkers as well as the clients were some of the most wonderful people I've ever worked with

If you want to work at an organization that doesn't care about its staff, is misogynist, pays very , terrible hours, and a fear-based management style, then work here. My supervisor was the absolute worst person I have ever had to report to. They don't care about the community they are supposed to be serving, people are treated horribly, they are never happy with your work no matter what you do, and the gaslighting is off the charts. I wouldn't recommend working there unless you're desperate.
