So much promise, such poor leadership
|
|
Amazing community of passionate volunteers
Good pay especially for a non-profit
Flexible work arrangements
Some really wonderful people on staff
|
CEO is abysmal but, somehow, the Board hasn’t fired him. His ego is legendary, he screams at staff (literally), and ignores any ideas or evidence that suggests his ideas won’t work. None of the growth he’s promised for years has come true and he is fundamentally opposed to diversity initiatives. The company cannot succeed with him in charge.

He has always remained supportive of me and my work at the AMA. \n\nTo characterize Russ as fundamentally opposed to diversity initiatives is false. I\u2019ve observed Russ work to increase diversity at the AMA across many dimensions, including focusing on volunteer leader diversity early in his tenure. He has also been the champion of establishing a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee on the AMA Board of Directors and creating a new leadership staff role focused on DEI. Can the AMA do more? Yes, and we will continue to do so with Russ\u2019 support.\n\nThank you for caring about the AMA.

Difficult Place to Work
|
|
Excellent location (pre-pandemic) and co-workers tend to be great. Amazing opportunity to get to know the marketing community and meet many people. Good resume builder and some new ideas are being integrated.
|
Lots of "walking on eggshells around here." CEO is very self-absorbed and other department heads don't look like they can ever stand up to him. Huge amount of turnover. Lots of procedure and process; "meetings about meetings" and "committees about committees." Lots of talk about "values" which is just that - talk. That makes it worse.

Russ is passionate about his vision for the organization, for sure, which is ultimately a good thing.

It has been on a steadily declining trend the last three years in a row and has hit record lows (for AMA and our industry) pre- and post-pandemic. \n\nAs you are a current employee, I encourage you to talk to your manager, department head, HR, Russ, or me about your concerns.

Mission Driven Organization
|

A lot of focus is put on the competencies of the AMA and I've seen them reiterated so often that it truly has shaped the culture of the organization in the best possible way.
By focusing on infrastructure improvements, the AMA is constantly looking into the future in how to best service their members and therefore keeping us relevant to our core audience.
Including members from all teams in interview panels, design sprints and user testing not only introduces AMA employees to aspects of the business they might not have exposure to but also makes all successes more broad than "this team won".
|
Honestly, nothing that I can think of.

Don't Bother
|
|
Beautiful office space, on which they will provide a lot of focus during your visit/interview experience.
|
Outdated and increasingly irrelevant model & institution. Huge disconnect between execs and remaining staff. People are often fired. Overall there is a feeling of unease, distrust and frustration among staff, and they do not feel like there is anywhere to turn for help.

Be careful
|
|
Friendly people with diverse backgrounds.
Good opportunity for entry level people to gain basic experience.
Casual dress code.
|
Very outdated ways of doing things, inexperienced leadership in many areas who don't communicate well.
Pattern of hiring people then letting them go when they realize they didn't know what they needed.
No innovation or creativity. Outdated organization in most areas, don't stay too long or you will fall behind.
