Good people and low stress, but very uninspiring environment

Program coordinator

Business outlook

Pros

Mostly good people, not a very high stress environment and no work after hours. Good location in Old City.

Cons

Extremely dreary, silent and uninspiring work environment. Minimal contact with coworkers throughout the day. Don’t expect to interact with others very much. Salaries are low and promotions take way too long. Very very heavy top down approach with approvals required for everything. Good place to learn but not to stay for long.

Pros

Truly harder to find any pros as my time with this company goes on

Cons

Another year where management sends an email sharing that performance evaluations and raises are delayed by two months. While employees do just know to expect this, it doesn’t minimize how insulting + cowardly it is. I’d encourage all employees to view the top salaries at AACR on ProPublica. It is public information all employees should know.
