Pros

Has the membership and money to move mountains. The new CEO JoAnne Jenkins is a champion for change and with her leadership those mountains will be just hills to climb. Change is in the air and that is most needed and there is great enthusiasm for this change!

Cons

Certain departments lack leadership. There is an autocratic style of leadership which does not motivate or inspire the staff. I have been here less than 3 years and AARP doesn't bring out the best in me. I feel suppressed and made to feel less of a contributor for fear of being labeled.

Pros

I was able to take on multiple responsibilities, like research and volunteer engagement, with consideration of my time and workload from school.

Cons

At times, I felt like my work wasn’t as important or could’ve been done by my supervisors, especially when projects were close to completion, they would be altered but I understand it was for time efficiency.
