      Avoid this employer - Miss-Leading and toxic management

      Senior unified communications engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1.5 Billion in US dollar revenue generated by 3,200 employees. Structure so that only one part of the company is for profit and divisions claim non-profit status.

      Cons

      I was hired from a secure position at Fortune 100 company 6 months ago as a AARP IT remote employee. One week ago while I was visiting the country of Panama, I was told that they would no longer would allow me to work remote. I was hired as a full time remote employee. AARP informed me that if I did not stop being a remote employee that I would have to self-terminate. I refused their intimidation and AARP sent me an email stating that I was "self terminated", (i.e. stopped my employment without my resignation). Using this tactic means I will not receive Florida unemployment, no severance, AARP life insurance stops immediately and medical stops at end of Oct.

      Great Place to Work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      AARP has weathered many economic downturns and now a pandemic. It is truly a one-of-a-kind place providing stable jobs in an unstable world.

      Cons

      While AARP is large, upward mobility can prove challenging.

      Great mission, challenging work environment

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      AARP's mission is a shining north star. As a career move, you will be happiest if you work there for a very short time for the experience, then leave.

      Cons

      The company lacks appropriate focus to execute on that mission. Focus on what you do well. Eliminate slow management structure. Look around at the world as it is and change what you are doing before you lose all relevance to GenX and future generations. There is no way for employees to get promoted. Management does not see the value in current employees. Instead, they always look for the next great person or thing. This does not engender a strong internal culture; instead, mid-level managers are all fighting over territory and employees are keeping their heads down and trying not to get noticed so they won't get caught in the crossfire.
