Not at all what it seems - HCSC Muscular Dystrophy Association Employee Review

Pros

MDA is constantly focusing money towards research and their goals are heartwarming. Salaries were competitive for the basic job expectations. Staff is advised of major accomplishments on the national level.

Cons

The office lacks cohesiveness, no one gets along with one another. All staff are expected to focus most of their attention on fundraising, not caring for families. It is not unusual to work an addition 10-20 hours a week and not be compensated. Technology is outdated and slow. Senior management is unrealistic in their expectations of local staff. Staff is not given timely notice on changes to their expectations.

Mission driven, lots of flexibility and great relationships. The families and sponsors are amazing. The company continues to make changes that are beneficial to its employees.

National employees don't always have a good sense of what it's like in the field. Sometimes the cart is ahead of the horse.
