What do you like about working at American Heart Association?
"You can't beat Mission and being able to thread a true cause into your sales, fundraising, program delivery, etc. Above all, community, corporate, healthcare, and volunteer clients - when they get it and you've provided the win-win solution - that is the best."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Be sharp, do your homework, have your career highlights memorized. Top Grading is the paradigm most often used."
What don't you like about working at American Heart Association?
"The culture is fractured, conflicting with itself. Fundraising is a harsh business here, excellence or fail (and be replaced). Same time, the balance is never achieved between the fundraising and the mission delivery. Across the organization, you're just dependent on which boss you get, not a consistency of leadership anywhere."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"It is too vast for anyone but the most gifted, stupendous leader. The CEO would have to completely peel the place and build a completely new, integrated, compelling culture. It would be worth it, but it would take her three years and someone else would have to run the rest of the business. More short-sighted. Don't pat yourself on the back for being so good at eliminating people now."
