Pros

Getting to know and working with the families that benefit from the services Good choice for my first experience into the nonprofit world-I really experienced ALL types of fundraising and learned which ones I liked and which did not work (although I wasn't given the authority to change which programs our offices did/did not participate in)

Cons

Continual changing/mandating of programs, policies, structure of events Stopped providing funds for wheelchairs-a major necessity for many individuals with MD Unrealistic expectations by senior management No time or interest in celebrating major milestones in fundraising No national database Micromanagement of staff's every move Underutilizing trained professional staff to make telemarketing calls

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback and support. We are continuing to move forward with implementing new and improved initiatives to benefit MDA employees. We understand your frustration of national staff not always fully understanding the important work the field does on a daily/hourly basis but are hopeful that this disconnect will continue to improve. If you have suggestions or concerns please reach out to your divisional HR Generalist, or use the anonymous suggestion box on Merlin. Thank you for all of the hard work you do!
