AARP has an employee rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars, based on 878 company reviews on Glassdoor which indicates that most employees have an excellent working experience there. The AARP employee rating is in line with the average (within 1 standard deviation) for employers within the Nonprofit & NGO industry (3.7 stars).
Has the membership and money to move mountains. The new CEO JoAnne Jenkins is a champion for change and with her leadership those mountains will be just hills to climb. Change is in the air and that is most needed and there is great enthusiasm for this change!
Cons
Certain departments lack leadership. There is an autocratic style of leadership which does not motivate or inspire the staff. I have been here less than 3 years and AARP doesn't bring out the best in me. I feel suppressed and made to feel less of a contributor for fear of being labeled.
