Pros

I love my coworkers- they make coming to work fun and rewarding every day. AHF pays for trainings and education. It pays better than smaller, underfunded nonprofits. You know the work you do is helping save and improve lives. Everything is mission-driven and AHF can actually deliver on the mission. They gave many employees a 500 emergency bonus during COVID and promised not to lay anyone off. My manager is extremely kind and takes care of any issues I may have. My manager is understanding and supportive if personal/health issues come up.

Cons

There are times that the external values of AHF don't fit the internal ones, even sometimes in ways that feel hypocritical. The pay may be better than most nonprofits but its not great, especially if you live in an expensive city. When I worked at other nonprofits in the past, I couldn't hold low pay against them because they simply didn't have the resources. However, AHF has the money but chooses not to use that on its staff. There are some big egos and a fair amount of favoritism. Managers pressure employees to donate to political campaigns that AHF is working on and to write glassdoor reviews.

Pros

A real sense that you’re doing something meaningful.

Cons

While the mission of the organization is admirable, the internal culture often undermined the work being done for vulnerable populations. Leadership turnover was constant, with management structures frequently changing and new supervisors appearing every few months. There were often multiple layers of management with unclear roles, creating confusion, competing priorities, and a workplace environment that felt more focused on internal politics than supporting staff. Many employees were deeply committed to the mission and routinely gave far more of themselves than was sustainable. I know I did. The workload and culture made it easy to lose any sense of work-life balance, and there was little meaningful support for the emotional toll of the work. What was most disheartening was watching an organization built to care for vulnerable people become, at times, one of the most difficult places for its own employees to feel valued and supported. The disconnect between the mission and the treatment of staff was significant. Several years later, I still recognize the impact that experience had on my professional confidence and overall well-being.
