Great Cause, but not a good place to work - Office Administration Assistant Muscular Dystrophy Association Employee Review

Pros

Working with fundraising events onsite. Interaction with patients/clients with Muscular Dystrophy was very rewarding.

Cons

MDA management changes frequently. The entire staff usually gets replaced one by one before that happens. There seems to be a lot of competition (not in a productive way) between managers in each office. They don't have much regard for the employees.

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.

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!
