Pros

Benefits are pretty much the only good thing about working here. Medical, office food, travel, etc.

Cons

Wow. Where to start? If you want to work in the most toxic environment you can imagine, then this place is for you. The Leadership team does not care about their employees whatsoever and are only out to look for themselves. They, along with the previous CEO, looked the other way as entire departments were torn apart by wannabe tyrants who made individuals' daily lives hell. A little part of your soul would be sucked out of you as each day passed by. The only way to avoid this was to stay out of the office as much as possible. The same can be said about leadership in general at this Association. Everyone is out to look for themselves and will throw their own direct reports under the bus to save themselves. So many people have gotten by with doing no work for years. HR is pretty much nonexistent here, and there is such a disconnect between locations that it is hard to get any work done. Misogyny is abundant and cliques form to get people out just because they don't like the person. Personalities and egos get in the way of each other instead of everyone working together. I agree with other reviews on here that once you get out you join a club of former staff who got out and whose lives are so much better once you realize that not every work environment is like this. It's bad that former employees band together to try save current employees and get them out as quickly as they can.
