AACR reviews

Demoralizing environment. Not sure who runs the show. Revolving door. Rumor has it they will pay you off to leave quietly. NO work at home/family life balance. Treat employees like the professionals they are. An employee was fired because he did not say hello to the CEO on the elevator, hope he sues. No perks what so ever. You start with 2 weeks vacation, that is so 1970.

• Very poor management. • Some senior managers provide poor, inconsistent direction and guidance to staff. • Little opportunity for staff to provide feedback to CEO/senior management, including through formal performance reviews which sometimes are skipped • Staff are not respected or recognized for their contributions, and there is little concern for, or investment in, staff development. • Staff lack autonomy to make decisions. • Staff time is not respected; meetings routinely start late and can last for hours without regard to other commitments employees may have. • Inflexible work hours and work environment. • Benefits are not great: 8% 403B contribution sounds good, but doesn’t take effect until two years after start date; staff have only 2-3 weeks of vacation/year (depending on level); and get fewer federal holidays compared to similar organizations. • Senior managers believe that employees should be highly motivated because of AACR’s mission, but do not seem to realize that there are many other mission-focused non-profits that provide more supportive environments.
