Pros
There are employees there that are passionate, engaged and committed to helping the associations' volunteers and supporting the mission. The facilities and technology are above average.
Cons
The culture at HFMA leaves a lot to be desired. Employees (including directors) regularly throw others under the bus when projects are not completed. This is tolerated, and, in certain cases, encouraged by the Executive Team. Instead of focusing on the strategy, people bicker about whose "job" it is to execute the idea, with little leadership from an Executive level. The process of hiring and firing is inconsistent and often times people are hired who have a very low skill set. (example: they don't know how to use PowerPoint and their job requires them to handle PowerPoint presentations regularly). This makes an inequitable situation with the Executive Team expecting some employees to work 80+ hours to cover up for the people who aren't able to do the basic functions of their job The company is also top heavy with almost half of the employees being Director or above, leaving very little room for advancement. They will choose to hire an outside person with little to no managerial experience over someone internally who has already demonstrated those skills. Compensation is inconsistent, with some people getting very overpaid, while others are very underpaid for their skill set.
