DO NOT Work for this organization! - Program Coordinator Muscular Dystrophy Association Employee Review

Pros

The families are wonderful and very appreciative of the work you do. The sponsors are wonderful, especially the firefighters.

Cons

By far the WORST job I have ever had. The turnover rate of employees is unbelievable. In the 2 years I worked for MDA I saw 22 people come and go in a small 15 person office! Your work is not appreciated - they always push you to do more! They claim to have a good work/life balance which is totally not true. You are nothing to them. They use you and wear you down until you have nothing left.

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!
