Pros
The mission and the dedicated staff and grassroots volunteers.
Cons
This organization has been in a downward spiral for nearly five years. In 2015 a new CEO was brought on board promising a new day at ADA. Within a few months it became clear that he and his new team were utterly incompetent and unwilling to listen to input from staff. In October 2015 there was a restructure that involved laying off many staff and no strategic plan. It was crystal clear the organization was going to fail and it did. Knowing this, many of us left in late 2015/early 2016 but unfortunately some stayed. FY2016 brought revenue shortfalls of approximately $37MM and on 1.30.2017 nearly 130 dedicated staff lost their jobs and 25 offices were closed. This is a travesty and was completely avoidable. There is bound to be continued uncertainty and turmoil over the next year as ADA tries to recover from this. I would not recommend anyone apply to work here until the dust settles.
