Highly regarded but taking on too much

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Highly skilled team, driven program managers and directors. AFT is highly regarded in the field. It's staffed by experts and specialists with great experience. Staff who are farmers and/or have families are encouraged to tend to their lives outside AFT; work-life balance is great.

Cons

Crazy fast growth in a short period of time causing some staff to feel uncertain about stability. Execs and directors are too caught up with looking ahead that the systems and infrastructure needed for staff to do day-to-day operations are stagnant, inefficient, outdated, and keep lower level staff very frustrated. The organization is 40 years old but feels like working for a startup sometimes, for better and worse.

Business Outlook

Pros

Primarily remote. Mission-driven work to benefit America's farmers and ranchers. Good benefits.

Cons

Poor culture and leadership. General lack of innovation and teamwork. Few opportunities to network with fellow employees in person. Compensation is not competitive with most other national profit organizations for management+ level roles. Unable to adapt to a post-pandemic work environment and scale systems to match employee growth.

Senior leadership is toxic

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Important mission, great program staff on the ground

Cons

The culture enables toxic leaders at the highest level. The top-down structure protects the executive team at the expense of everyone else. AFT has many great program staff but they are not appreciated.
