American Heart Association Reviews

Pros

I have been with the American Heart Association for a decade now and what invigorates me to come to work every day is the fact that what I do ultimately contributes towards helping people live healthier and longer. As an employee of this organization, I am passionate about making an extraordinary impact by creating a brighter future where no one dies of cardiac arrest. Our mission of saving lives is not just a cliché that we say. It is embedded in the core of our hearts and is what drives us in everything we do.

Advice to Management

I love the fact that the top executives of the AHA walk the talk of our mission each and every day and demonstrates consistently our core values. I would love to see the same commitment and passion in every member/level of management, holding them accountable to lead by example and reflect the same values.

Advice to Management

Pros

The Heart Association has one of the best benefits packages. I love, love, love what I do. Also, many leadership are fantastic people, caring, compassionate and do their best to guide us to achieve the goals at hand.

Advice to Management

The pressure to hit goals often times supersedes the health and wellness of employees. Heart is a health and wellness organization and the employees suffer from long hours, not just physical health but emotional health and well-being.

Also, we are always told we have to raise a certain amount to meet our commitments. The question I always wonder is do we make commitments to fund research and development without knowing if it is even possibly. The increases are unrealistic. It would help staff understand where they get the number if we could understand what they want to fund, what they are working on. The information is so dense we cannot speak to it with our potential sponsors.
