Great mission

Pros

The AACR has a great mission and attracts good talent. The organization is reputable and many employees secure greater opportunities after working at the AACR.

Cons

The AACR is managed by a culture of fear. Employees are misled -- starting during the interview process -- and many feel stifled professionally. I've never experienced such a high turnover rate. Most employees leave before reaching two years of employment once they realize the job is not what they signed up for. It is a depressed atmosphere. People are afraid of the CEO.

Pros

A "sleeper" organization in Philadelphia. Amazing what they accomplish

Cons

Top down leadership is crazy and everyone is afraid of the CEO. Title means everything, including the size of your desk and your office

Pros

Wonderful mission--to cure cancer. Good benefits.

Cons

All is at the whim of the CEO. If you are well liked by her you are golden. If not start looking.
