Pros

The benefits here are decent. Good vacation time, good insurance, etc. Great people to work with in the local offices

Cons

Organization is run from the top down. Tons of micro managing. No room for advancement. If working for the ADA be prepared to "be thrown under the bus" at any moment.

Pros

Good benefits, appear to care about employees, strong tie to the mission

Cons

Allow for insubordinate behavior from your staff and do not support Directors Human Resource department is HORRIBLE and poorly trained Management is MIA and then tries to hold you accountable for things they never trained you on...

Pros

Benefits at ADA are wonderful. The learning tools and training are good as well.

Cons

ADA has very little potential for growth in the field offices. There are hard lines drawn for fundraisers and very little support from Directors and above. The organization is more about the money raised than the work that is done in the community. Funds are not going to local areas and it makes it embarrassing to ask for sponsorships or donation when a person cannot honestly say that money is serving within their own community. High turnover, job dissatisfaction, poor community presence make ADA a bad combination for most offices.
