Pros

AARP is one of the few places that still has a pension plan and also offers a 401K.

Cons

AARP is too top heavy with upper management. They need more doers and thinkers and need to give that staff the support it requires to keep employees enthusiastic about their jobs. They do not often promote from within, though they claim they prefer to. If you are lucky enough to be promoted from in, they cap off your monetary promotion at 10%. So an outside candidate is likely to be paid much more for the same position you would have been promoted into.

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.
