AACR reviews

The AACR is headed by a CEO that has lost focus on the mission of the AACR. She often favors those who appear to respect her in person but are incredibly disrespectful of her in private. Something that I’ve witnessed too often. While the CEO is a woman, there is an undeniable atmosphere of sexism. Sadly, there is a certain level of racism as well. I’ve worked for and with other nonprofit organizations. I have never seen a nonprofit with this level of unprofessionalism and lack of empathy. Even while partnering with other nonprofits, associations and organizations, behind the scenes, unprofessional and virulent comments are made about partners, organizations and colleagues.

Of course, no workplace is perfect, and everyone thinks that the grass is greener elsewhere, but I’ve consistently seen that those who work hard and don't just put in the minimum effort are rewarded with advancement. The CEO is an example of this, having started as an Editorial Assistant, attended school to expand her education, worked her way up the organization ladder, and has been running the organization for some time. Not surprisingly, those in the organization who are negative and the ones who put in the minimal effort and never progress.
