Could be better...

Pros

The benefits, while reduced over the years, are still pretty fair overall. The company size allows you to meet a number of people who work there. Parking is free at HQ. Friendly atmosphere.

Cons

This is all based on 5+ years of working at NADA. Salaries are uncompetitive and always have been. Despite the low wages for the area, NADA has money to blow on servers they never used. This stems from poor management. Upper management (executive leadership) is aloof from the company and never visits the rest of the floors, preferring to stay in their office. Middle management (department heads) lack the training to effectively set budgets and refuse to empower the lower management levels, instead holding them responsible for issues but never giving them the authority they need to be taken seriously. Lower management is left to pick up the pieces with little training, no authority, little to no control of budgetary items, and little respect from employees. Employees are treated as children who cannot be trusted to do the right thing and are consistently micromanaged by all levels of management.

Pros

--Employees are given more vacation time than at other professional associations. --Lower-level employees had their own offices in some departments. --Travel benefits are generous. Employees stay in very nice hotels when they have to work at the convention or make other trips.

Cons

Things may have changed since I left, but when I was there: --The culture was so outmoded that it was ridiculous. It was extremely hierarchical, with managers invariably bowing to the will of higher managers and the board of directors. --The dress code (no jeans! ever!) was much more formal than at other associations. --Telecommuting was never, ever allowed. --Flexible scheduling was never, ever allowed--despite the terrible traffic in the Tysons Corner area. --Pay was not commensurate with workload. --People, at least those in my department, were not happy. There was no real reason for the stress level to be as high as it was, but it was quite high.

Pros

Great people. Plenty of opportunities to move around in the company. Lots of vacation days.

Cons

Compensation could be a little better. Work day is not flexible. 8:30 to 4:45. Don’t be late or leave early.
