Pros

Above-average pay for very little work

Cons

The AGA is 100% at the whim of the Governing Board and various committees of influential physicians, and concedes to them at the drop of a hat without thinking through anything strategically. Staff are just yes-men. Short (1 year) tenure of Governing Board presidents creates totally disjointed initiatives and no coherent, long-term organizational strategy. Very few staff care about their jobs or take pride in what they do.

Just Pathetic.

Pros

Total Autonomy. Why? Because leadership is checked OUT. Members are great. Staff are awful.

Cons

Staff are cliquish. Management has it out for staff. There is at least pettiness and at most highly unethical behavior. It's a mom and pop shop. Leadership snipes at staff behind their back. I once heard a Council leader-member say, "No one GOOD ever stays at AGA." Every one in the room laughed. Make staff change their passwords not to be "password".

Pros

Ability to telework, not stressful

Cons

Physician committee members don't respect staff and don't value staff time. Senior management doesn't advocate for staff and doesn't hold physician committee members accountable if they don't fulfill their commitment requirements. All VPs have been there 15+ years, don't give time of day to lower-level employees and are the reason for such slow organizational change. Lower-level employees aren't valued, aren't utilized to full potential. High turnover and no room to grow, despite what they may tell you in the interview process. Severe lack of communication and coordination between departments.
