A great place to work if you love office politics and brown nosing. - Aviation Technical Specialist AOPA Employee Review

Pros

AOPA offers an excellent benefits package. Medical, Vision, Dental, 401K match of 100% up to first 6.5% and over $3,000 annually for flying proficiency. Plenty of vacation time, holidays off, company picnics, gym membership reimbursement, etc.

Cons

Promotions are awarded to "favorite" employees and cannot be earned. Your success depends on how how much brown nosing you do. No clear path for advancement. In the Tech Specialist department, favorites are promoted to Senior Specialist and given a 10% plus raise for doing the exact same job. Management cannot (will not) detail how to get promoted. They explicitly state that the promotion is subjective.

Pros

Good benefits and they pay for your flight training.

Cons

Senior leadership is disconnected from the membership decline problems and offers no solutions to correct membership loss and management problems, but does attend a lot of cocktail parties and get to fly a jet around the country.
