American Academy of Family Physicians Reviews

Pros

The members, Family Physicians, are generally nice and easy to work with. There are a lot of nice perks, i.e. week off between Christmas and New Years, snow days. and onsite work out facility including locker room and showers.

Cons

Senior management continues to look for the answer in the "management fad" of the year; there have been several "re-organizations" over the last several years, yet there is not a clear direction of where the organization is headed. As a non-profit, technology tends to be a lower priority, although the situation has improved in the last few years.

Advice to Senior Management

True transparency will be critical for staff to contribute effectively

Pros

The AAFP serves family physicians so they can provide the best care to their patients. It is a noble mission to support.
The benefits are great and it is very family friendly - the organization recognizes the need to balance work and personal life.
Fellow employees are caring and supportive of each other.
The AAFP is a national leader in the health care field and its expertise is recognized by other medical societies, government officials, and industry leaders. It makes one proud of the work the organization does.

Cons

If you don't like change, it would not be such a comfortable place to work, because the AAFP is changing, as it must, to continue to thrive in a changing environment.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work. Continue to look for ways that the organization can lead changes in health care in general, and family medicine in particular. Continue to be adaptive to the changes in the environment.

Pros

I worked there for over twenty years and it was for the most part a very good place to work. But, a few years ago, they brought in a new EVP and another VP who changed the entire concept of what the Academy stands for.

Cons

With all their changes, the members are not getting what is deserved to them.

Advice to Senior Management

They all need to be fired!
