Lies about Salary, Promotions & NO Work at Home or Balance

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

People are there to make a difference.

Cons

CEO should retire. I believe she has been at AACR for 50 years. She does not care what her Senior Managers have to say and does her own thing her own way. Why bother to hire managers? NO Work at Home, period. From what I understand they have lots of legal action against them. Annual evaluations that are supposed to take place in January do not actually happen until July. This year they change the rating without telling our managers or employees. Way to build morale, Not! I just resigned and took a $10k pay cut to work for a company that values employees and allows work at home one day a week and offers much more time off. AACR offers 2 weeks, seriously, 2 weeks? Regardless of the great mission, if you have no perks for the employee, why would anyone want to work here.

Great Heart and Mission, Mismanaged Organization

Business Outlook

Pros

This organization has a heart of gold. They really do want to prevent, treat and cure cancer around the world. You can feel good about contributing to an organization whose mission is so crystal clear.

Cons

There is a lot of control needed at the top so every decision, even minor ones, must go through a very long chain of command, causing things to slow down significantly. It was hard to execute on anything without prior CEO approval. There was a big bottleneck effect.
